Your Shout

If you had 25 hours a day, how would you use your extra time?

TOP SHOUT

My home is a museum of my life thus far… There are hundreds of unread books, unlistened albums, boxes of archival stuff and heaven knows what. And I keep buying more stuff (with a Covid dip while my income evaporated.) I like buying stuff. And then there’s my own music; some of it I put out, much of it I record and don’t release because there isn’t time. Then there’s thousands of unedited photos, and books to write… Ah fuck it! Twenty-five hours a day isn’t enough, can I negotiate this up? Nick Hobbs | Charmenko

Sex. (Or motor racing – it lasts longer!!) John Giddings | Solo Agency I thought 25 hours a day is what music managers always work… Paul Craig | Nostromo Management Covid has made it clear that life is short and very unpredictable: certainties can disappear in minutes. So my extra time would be spent playing, reading, walking, smiling, and lots of family time. Work is not everything, it already takes eight hours a day, that’s enough. Corrado Canonici | World Touring Exhibitions Not to work. Natasha Gregory | Mother Artists Live This just made me waste three minutes as I have been thinking about how I will use that extra hour! Lucia Wade | ITB

I’d save up all the extra hours, add them together and take a holiday. I’m not one for holidays, to be honest, but I’d give it a try. Gillian ‘Centre’ Park(s) | MGR Touring

I would probably want to use that extra hour to check on my colleagues and friends in the business and make sure they are okay. Come to think of it… I should do that more often anyway. Guido Janssens | Emagic

Reading the wonderful IQ Magazine in even more detail, and preparing for ILMC 34, of course. Martin Goebbels | Miller Insurance
