When I took on my PhD, my ambitious plans were to save up a large chunk of the funding, in order to pay off the student loan in one lump sum, and become enviably debt-free. Unfortunately, though I’ve learned the harsh realities of life a little slower than most of my contemporaries, it turns out that living costs are not awarded so that I can selfishly keep my bank balance mounting up, but because living does indeed cost. It is still my intention to make the odd overpayment, however, in an attempt to put the brakes on the accruing interest. One of the key issues surrounding the hike in tuition fees is not only the amount of money future generations of student will have to repay, but how long the debt is hanging over your head. By charging a fine, it’s almost like having to pay a premium for the ‘privilege’ of not having one less major thing to worry about in a life which is becoming increasingly stressful for everyone. Even paying off library fines leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, even though I only have myself to blame. Ah well, that’s my two-penneth*.

*subject to change, due to inflation.

And I enjoyed the demo — not too bad at all as grainy recordings go, so I think you should definitely think about gigging again. It would be wonderful to see you play, and you’re definitely 100% more than capable of being brilliant.
