The joy of feeling supported by a folk music community: on redundancy, rejections and finding what you love again

This weekend I switched off. I didn't apply for any jobs, or endlessly scroll the same job boards hoping for something magical to appear. I didn't hide under a duvet, wishing for things to be different and reflecting on what I was doing at work this time last year. Instead, I attempted to reset my brain by rediscovering something I have always loved. Folk music and playing tunes with others.
