Providing a platform for aspiring writers

Updated: Sep 8, 2022

I'm opening up the blog on www.thewhybooks.co.uk for young people who enjoy writing about music to give them a platform to get their ideas and stories more visibility. Anything related to music, whether it be album, concert or book reviews, or think pieces on education or industry are welcome (including audio and video formats).
