Do you think it’s important for artists to engage with their local community, particularly during festive periods? What can local councils and businesses do to support up-and-coming musicians like yourself?
Absolutely. Music has the power to bring people together, especially during times of celebration. Local support from venues, councils, and businesses is crucial.
