I remember hearing some urban London youths being interviewed on Radio 4 about a voluntary programme they had taken part in to get a taste of working in the arts. After talking about his brilliant time working ata recording studio, one boy was asked if he planned to go into the music business, perhaps working his way up through a studio like the one he'd been working in. His reply was 'No way! I'm a singer, not a tea boy!'
putting aside the crass generlisations, surely such fecklessness just leaves the door open for those who want to do the work, learn a trade and make a contribution? so why then does it inspire such verbosity in an industry apparently creaking under its own weight?
