ALL PROFITS GO TO LOCAL NHS CHARITIES
 
The Coronavirus lockdown has been a time we’ll all remember for the rest of our lives. Some have tragically suffered personal loss, many suffered economically, and all suffered, to varying levels, feelings of isolation and uncertainty in one way or another.
 
It was also a time where communities came together, neighbours helped neighbours, charities helped feed and support families and the whole country came to appreciate not only the brilliant NHS staff but also the delivery drivers, shop workers and many others who kept the world turning while we tried to keep safe at home.
 
During lockdown I found myself listening to a lot of music and, as always with music, many tracks took me back to places, events and people from my past. That led me to wondering if others were doing the same and to the idea of asking people to share songs from their lives and find out what they were missing during lockdown. Thanks to all those who contributed to the book and thanks to you for buying it. I hope you enjoy the conversations and choices as much as I did.
