I secured £500 funding from Bristol University’s Global Opportunities Scholarship fund in 2023 and used it to completely fund travel to Germany, Sweden, and Denmark, visiting festivals and interviewing nine bands at three festivals. I am the overall editor but am collaborating with several photographers, writers, and artists.
