In this conversation I host Jennah Smart, a professional musician and all round lovely person. Jennah has been navigating the world of freelance music for some time now but no period has been quite as challenging as the first half of 2020. The pandemic has forced music and arts venues into a tailspin, with social distancing requirements requiring many to close their doors until the end of the year or even into 2021.

We discuss:

- Why we love music?
- The state of the music industry currently
- The 'Leave no-one behind' policy that leaves freelance musicians behind in many cases
- How Jennah got into music
- The life of a professional musician
