“Listening, it struck me that there are parallels between a musician’s life and a farmer’s. Both occupations are vocational. You do them for love, because you need to. They rely on hugely labour intensive work. They’re craft-based, and the skills are handed through families, over long apprenticeships of listening and doing. You have to be tough and resilient, responding always to changing environments.” – Genevieve Lacey
