I used to think professional musicians, artists and writers were the epitome of creative success. They’d bypassed nine-to-five monotony and were travelling the world, being recognised for, and making a living from, their craft.
Pryderi Jones, 39, lives in Hobart, too. He works at a call centre for an electricity company. Jones doesn’t think of himself as a musician, but, ‘in bits and pieces throughout many days’, he’s been writing songs for years.
