      Guys 😱 I had an unexpected car bill of £547.20 this week. My streaming royalties paid in Sept was £79.93 for 70k streams. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Today is #BandcampFriday. If only 50 folks downloaded an album, signed on to my Scots language workshop, or bought a cute Scots greetings card. I can pay that credit card car bill ♥️ Please have a look here → ionafyfe.bandcamp.com/merch&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/117/371/540/993/800/741/original/de9721b6b8787f20.png&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      I really need to shift 60 last tickets for my Fringe show to almost break even. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Admittedly, I’ve only been ramping up the promo in the last while, as I’ve been in the US on tour. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I’m a Scottish folksinger, performing self-penned, trad ballads and translations in the Scots language. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If that sounds appealing to you, I’ve got a show on Fri 21 and Sun 23. If you’d get your tix in advance, that would go a long way. ❤️ &lt;br/&gt;Or even a wee repost of this post. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;🎟️  Tickets → &lt;a href=&#34;https://bit.ly/fringeif&#34;&gt;https://bit.ly/fringeif&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;video controls width=&#34;100%&#34; class=&#34;max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700&#34;&gt;&lt;source src=&#34;https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/117/128/732/519/709/681/original/45c109dedbaaa751.mp4&#34;&gt;&lt;/video&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

      On this International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, I urge followers not to look away and to never forget the suffering that the Palestinian people are still experiencing. 🕊️🇵🇸&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You can condemn the atrocities of H*mas, and also condemn the atrocities of the regime of the Government of I*rael. There may be a “ceasefire”, but the suffering continues.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;video controls width=&#34;100%&#34; class=&#34;max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700&#34;&gt;&lt;source src=&#34;https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/115/633/824/856/482/769/original/77ff7f39c44ab2a0.mp4&#34;&gt;&lt;/video&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

      Last month, 91031 streams equated to only £94.76 in royalties. If only NINE people downloaded an album on Bandcamp, I’d make the same.

      Ultimately, before I even paid for flights, car hire, accommodation, musician feels, my O1 cost me $6535 - extortionate and prohibitive. The stress and financial pressure this has caused has been insane. But I LOVE performing for US audiences. The passion they have for Scots Song is so beautiful. &lt;br/&gt;If you’d like to help out, I’ve collated a download of 32 of my songs available from Bandcamp that you can purchase here ➡️ &lt;a href=&#34;https://ionafyfe.bandcamp.com/album/iona-fyfe-digital-download-compilation&#34;&gt;https://ionafyfe.bandcamp.com/album/iona-fyfe-digital-download-compilation&lt;/a&gt;

      In reply to &lt;a href=&#39;/nevent1qqspklnd9nzvhvqcw407wee6jaqm634llfq8trcupjv8atzdn30zf5su86ct3&#39;&gt;nevent1q…6ct3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;_________________________&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The stress has been unreal. The tour supposed to begin 13th September. The cost is insane and I’m scared Europe becomes like this due to Brexit. If you’re into folk music and have liked any of my content, please do consider downloading or buying a CD from Bandcamp. Because to say this process has caused hardship is the largest understatement  ever 😭 &lt;a href=&#34;https://ionafyfe.bandcamp.com/music&#34;&gt;https://ionafyfe.bandcamp.com/music&lt;/a&gt;

      After a costly process of $6535, WHY do I have to wait another WEEK to send my passport to the U.S Embassy? After increasing the visa fees in April, WHY is the process now more strained and time consuming and delayed as ever? It’s possible that I loose $6535 plus a whole month of work.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/113/011/353/038/404/257/original/90b50fe0bbc01d4c.png&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      What we have witnessed in the last six months is nothing short of a genocide. Innocent civilians being bombed, a blockade of water, energy and aid. Israel missiles being shot at hospitals. This is a genocide and we need a ceasefire.
