Can totally get with what you're saying about having the family to support... I went self employed this year, then met my girlfriend who's got 3 kids, because of lack of advance+cancelled gigs and a few other licencing rip offs, we're now financially screwed, phone's on the verge of getting cut off etc etc, I suppose I've never been in a position in this where I've been earning loads with my own label or anything, and felt I could maintain that by continuing the same thing or whatever, and strangely enough it's been pushing my more experimental stuff that's meant I have light at the end of the tunnel in a month or so... needless to say once I get this house move out of the way I'm going to be looking for some gainful employment....
