By Florrie McCarthy    For this issue, I wanted to delve into the noise created in the news by the artist known as The Weeknd in 2021 when he made some scathing comments about the Grammy Awards and pulled what might develop to be a somewhat revolutionary stunt.  On the 25th of November 2021, the…

By Florrie McCarthy    If you don’t know me personally, then I should tell you I’m currently in a band – cool, I know. We’re called Violet Club, although I don’t really like the name at all, and so far we only really do covers. In fact, basically, our biggest musical vision is playing songs…
