Even with out covid-19 putting obstacles in my path at this point change would still be necessary. I spent around 17 years being heavily involved in live music as a performer as well as my own solo work. That all stopped completely in February 2020 when I played my last last gig, apart from a guest appearance as part&nbsp; of the invisible folk club ensemble in late summer.&nbsp; That was enjoyable but pretty much a one off though. So its been hard to try and keep positive about anything really. the unexpected deaths of two close friends have knocked the stuffing out of me. Hopefully spring will lift me a little when it comes.&nbsp;<br><br>I am very sad that there is to be no EU musicians visa and that the reason for this is we are told is&nbsp; because of&nbsp; the need to control our borders.&nbsp; Presumably that&#8217;s to stop us Brits&nbsp; from being able to escape fortress &#8220;little&#8221; Britain&nbsp; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/969364714&#038;color=%23de7543&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\" title=\"Diana Stones Glasscage\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Diana Stones Glasscage<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/you-lied-and-you-lied\" title=\"You Lied And You Lied\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">You Lied And You Lied<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp; At the time of writing Donald Trump has left the White House and Joe Biden is just arriving.
