Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week:

Music!

Our guest this week - Kirsten Busby is a soprano who a couple of weeks ago shared a virtual stage with KT Tunstall and Sarah McLachlan at #Whitestickfest - the virtual music festival to celebrate International White Cane Day.

Kirsten tells us about her first taste of singing in front of an audience - which involved a karaoke machine and the Jackson 5’s ‘Rocking Robin’ - reveals that while her bedroom may look a bit messy to you, she knows exactly where everything is, and gives us her perspective on the link between vision impairment and mental health issues. 

Please get in touch with the show, whether you have experience of any of the issues covered in this episode of Studio 1 or if you think there’s something we should be talking about.

You never know your story and your insight may help somebody else who is dealing with something similar.
