Episode: COVID and how the arts get kicked in the guts.
Description: Bob Spencer has played with some of Australia's most iconic bands, taught music, and toured extensively over many decades. Australians will recognise the names: Finch, Skyhooks, the Angels and Rose Tattoo. The Tatts were hit by the pandemic and needed to rush back home as borders closed. This is a conversation about the music business in which the issue of whether Australians care about the arts as much as footy is explored. And why aren't our musicians treated with as much respect as those living and working across Europe? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.<...
