In Episode 9 of our podcast, BIMM: Inside The Music Industry, Jen talks with Zoe Alexander, the founder of A Peaceful Noise. This annual gig is held in celebration of Zoe’s younger brother Nick, who tragically lost his life in the 2015 Bataclan terrorist attack in Paris.

In an emotional but positive conversation about the music community coming together; Zoe chats about Nick’s life, love of music, his purple crushed velvet suit and her determination that something positive should come from Nick’s passing.
