SUPPORT
The pandemic has changed things.
My income is majorly disrupted. Your income may be disrupted too.
Here are some LOW-COST and FREE ways that you can show me amaze balls support.
Let me know how I can support YOU. Get in touch any time.
Stay safe, keep well, and look after each other.
Much love,
Max
My live gigs have been canceled or pending. My wife, Char, and I are both self-employed with incomes from teaching. We have moved what we can online, but it will take time to rebuild what’s been lost.
If you can afford any of these low-cost ways to show support, it would be very sound 🙏. If you can’t afford it now, there are free actions you can take that genuinely help too.

SUPPORT
Actions that genuinely help.
I know that you’re asked all the time to take little digital actions – follow! stream! join! subscribe! – and that shiz can get annoying.
Here are some explanations about how the free actions that you take are not just so I can stroke my ego, but actually help me stay in touch with you and to earn some dollazzz 💰.
JOIN THE VILLAGE
Joining my mailing list helps me to build a closer relationship with you and is an essential part of building a sustainable music career.
- The emails I send 1 to 4 times a month will rarely try to sell you something
- I like to share news about my projects and life and simply say, “what’s the buzz?”
- It’s not just one-way. I love reading the replies to my emails
- Having an email list is the best way for me to contact you directly, rather than the see-by-chance method of social media
