Succour from A Northern Soul

LOCKDOWN has tested so many people in so many different ways and we all have our stories to tell.
For those of us who are performers, used to spending weeks on the road every year spreading the word to live audiences and doing our best to help those who need it, things have been really difficult and we have had to learn new ways to reach out — I know I have.
Over the past year, some absolute heroes have emerged in the radical DIY music scene and, for me and so many others, head and shoulders above them all has been the inspirational Joe Solo.
