Well said, Milly! I am getting much better at this now I am... ahem... of a certain age - and sixteen years into my career. But I still mess up sometimes and forget to ask about the fee upfront! (Mostly when I have had a few wines).

Exactly Milly. I’m getting much better at this but only in the last year or so of a 14 year career. I recently mentioned money in an email to a group of significant people in my ‘business’ and the sudden silence was deafening. How blooming distasteful of me.

But only in our profession, eh, Alex? Or if you are a musician too, so I’m told. x
