20.01.2022 For Issue 12 of our quarterly Soapbox newsletter our feature writer was freelance arts, music and travel journalist Kate Hennessy. "For other musicians, the rug had been yanked in unfathomable ways. Literally unfathomable, because the pandemic had snatched things that couldn’t even be quantified Young music fans, too.
