I am talking about developing musicians and i,m finding that instrument players and music making here in the uk seems to be totally stagnating and getting lost up its own backside.Because what i,m finding and correct me if i,m wrong is this.You get the usual middle class kids who attempt to learn to play an instrument in their youth then they grow into the try a band at uni for a couple of terms then its been there tried that and so often music making usually fizzles out they can wear the t shirt.So its just this small music development cycle and outwith that there is not a lot of social integration and mixture in the uk regarding the music and society in general particularly with skint struggling working class musicians of any age who don,t go or didn,t go down the middle class uni road by way of developing contacts.I,d like to see more bands forming with a mix of social classes and mixed ages because thats where the creativity is.Any one got any interesting news or thoughts one way or the other.For instance .We hark back often to the musically ground breaking punk rock scene but they were not at all anything to do with the lower working class really in my opinion and MC was maybe sorta pretending they were,maybe SidV was kinda because he was from a single parent family..
