It’s World Mental Health Day and I wanted to share my top tips for looking after your mental health as a touring musician. From touring arenas with Simple Minds and the Manics, to bringing The Anchoress and band to some of the finest grass roots music venues, I think I’ve accumulated enough air miles and stage time to have something of value to add to the discussion around music and mental health. What are some of your tips for looking after your own mental health? | The Anchoress

The Anchoress gave a stunning performance at Kings Place, #London in December and Kscope were lucky enough to be there! In this clip, she sings P.S. F.U. along with a strings section #thatsuit #theanchoress #goodtimes #live | Kscope
