In a place like Plainview, where music schools and studios abound, you can feel naturally inclined to try your hand at music. And your instinct may suggest that you should begin with piano, for the obvious reasons such as ease of learning. There is no doubt that this musical instrument is arguably the easiest one to pick; still, there are many other factors that contribute to a successful experience with this. Of them, one is your willingness to learn it. If you have a genuine interest in music and piano, you can imagine yourself doing well. But having an interest in something is not enough until you make efforts to acquire the required skills for the same.

We caught up with Cornish singer songwriter DAISY CLARK on the eve of the release of her latest song 'BATTLE SCARS'.....
It’s been 3 years since we last caught up with DAISY CLARK, I remember the day as if it were yesterday, she had just come off stage at Boardmasters Festival and we were hunkered down behind a bale of hay to try and shield ourselves from the booming funk emanating from The House of Marley. I don’t remember what we chatted about, probably some of her songs, how she enjoyed playing at Boardmasters, standard festival related questions no doubt!
Fast forward 3 years and Daisy is due to launch her brand new single ‘Battle Scars’ in less than 24 hours, we were lucky enough to get a 15 minute slot with her to chat about the new single, her life in lockdown and a bit of reminiscing about the time BILLIE EILISH showered her with praise following her cover version of ‘Bellyache’, read on to see how we got on….

MATT GOSS has released a beautiful version of 'If I Ain't Got You' by Alecia Keys to raise money for the NHS Heroes....
Matt says of the NHS;
“My concern is that while the NHS continues to go through arguably one of the most troubling times in their history. We are all thinking, as a society about getting back to normality, but what we must be aware of, is that this is their normal. So it is our duty as British people to make sure that this support does NOT stop, there is no end in sight for the NHS because they are our protectors. Part of the circle of life, our reality is, every one of us, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, husbands, sons and daughters, even after these tough times, we WILL still need our earth angels, the NHS. Let us always remember, to never forget.”
Watch the video to his version of the Alecia Keys classic and help to raise £50,000 for the NHS Heroes
