50 and Coping? Episode 5: Rob Clydesdale. Music and its impact on mental health.

Rob Clydesdale and I have been friends for a long time and he helped me through some very tough times!

He has struggled with his mental health for most of his adult life but has always managed to be a musician with very few peers in ability. I respect him as a human being a friend and a musician and I'm very glad we had this time together to talk.
I mention his song 1 Man Band and the link is here below:

50 and Coping is a podcast video show that looks to explore people’s coping mechanisms to trauma and mental health issues.

At no time are we suggesting we have all the answers but we have lived our lives and have coped with many things and if our experience can give any solace or guidance then we see that as a positive.
