S1 Ep7: Making Music Without Barriers - Ruth Patterson and Rich Legate

A musical career can be intensely stressful and physically challenging even for those that are fit and healthy.  In this episode we hear from musician Ruth Patterson about what it’s like managing a music career with a disability, and how the music industry could better support artists in her position. We then hear from Attitude is Everything’s Rich Legate about the research the charity has recently conducted, and how they are able to support disabled music makers.
