What It Really Takes to SURVIVE as an Artist in 2026…

So, a few months ago, I travelled down to the Country Cafe in Ingatestone and met an extremely talented musician called @lukeflearmusic719 who blew me away with his versatile set list, covering a wide range of songs from all different genres on a variety of different instruments.

After the performance was finished, it then inspired me to approach Luke that night and exchange details. A few weeks later we spoke online about the possibility of us making a documentary together. Luckily, he said yes to my invitation and the rest is history...
