The one where we talk to a picture of Irene Ketikidi.

This is a really interesting episode of 9-42, but not necessarily for the reason you maybe thinking.

It's not because Irene is a highly accomplished player, with both a considerable technical understanding and a passion for a number of musical style, though she does. It's not because she has gained acclaim for her composition and recorded work, though she has. And it's not because of her many years of performing live for a wide variety of bands, events and festivals, because you know what she has done that to.

It's because she is a great example of what it means to be a modern working musician, and what you have to do to be successful, make a living and manage to sustain it.
