1 GET TO KNOW
THE BAND
Every hangout is beneficial. We develop connections which come to life when we grab our instruments and play.

2 PUT AWAY THE
INSTRUMENTS
The magic happens when we close the gigbag. Great things happen as we’re thinking and talking without the weight of the tool hanging about.

3 LISTEN TO WHAT
YOU’VE DONE

4 CLEAR YOUR
MIND
I simply take a walk. Suddenly, there’s an idea in my head. I pull out my phone, sing and record the tune, then finish it when I come back home.
