It seems that we haven’t had a night out in ages since the lockdown restrictions were imposed in March. And sadly, due to a lack of business as a result of the COVID pandemic, some bars have shut down as it would not be financially feasible for them to continue operating. This affects most of us who have seen local favourites close down as we have had so much memories in those places. But this also affects musicians as this would mean that they have one less venue to perform in when they are able to do so safely. Rapper Poligrafo, R&B artist Lilfina, and Cottonfields’ guitarist John Adiao joined me to discuss how the pandemic affected the local night scene and their careers as musicians.
