today we're speaking with Liv Linley - a multi-faceted musician born, raised and living in the West Midlands. we discuss the challenges faced by working-class creatives, and the tenacity and resourcefulness it builds. Liv shares her experience growing up in an area without much funding or focus on the arts, and little to no pride in local talent - and how this can impact young people growing up needing a creative outlet. We delve a little into Coventry's rich musical history, and how it feels to defend our hometown.
