A Quarantini with Journalist Marjorie Hache

What has it been like to go through the last year and be in lockdown in Paris. Or Scotland! And what has it been like for the music industry. In this episode we talk to Majorie Hache, a Scottish/French music journalist who tells us all about it.

ALSO - we've chosen one of our favourite pieces of music from the year - one which marks the lockdowns we have and are going through - it's called Gotta Be Patient and it's by Stay Homas, a group of musicians who happened to share a flat together in Barcelona and who wrote three or four songs every week which they performed and recorded on their balcony.

PLUS - we bring you our usual round up of positive responses to the virus from around the world....

Music:

Gotta Be Patient, Stay Homas

Ho t Flu, Seb Gutiez, The Old Bones Collective - opening music
