MR: During the covid 19 quarantine,a lot of people spent time doing things they wouldn’t have normally done…did you pick up any new hobbies or learn new skills?
VENUS FLY TRAP- Difficult for me as I run a record shop, which had to close during lockdown and I also DJ, promote gigs and have my own band, these unlikely to be happening anytime soon. Basically had to switch to online sales and started a voucher scheme just to survive, but I have been back in the shop since mid June, all I can say its been interesting.
