Sound of Music

THE SOUND OF MUSIC... BY DIANE TREMARCO

By the time we go to print, it is likely that our country will be in lockdown. We have no choice and we can’t fight. We perhaps should treat it as a time for rest and repair. What better way to relax than to kick back and listen to some good, local music?

Here you will find local artists listed (in no particular order) with one of their releases and a link to that release. It may be the only one, but more likely that you will find their other offerings on the same link. Please find the time to not only listen, but to buy a copy if you can. Musicians are mostly self-employed and will be hit hard by the lock-down, this is one way we can help them to survive.
