Episode 6: Sophie Galpin
Episode six is with multi-instrumentalist Sophie Galpin. Sophie was a founder member of PINS and has more recently been playing with the likes of Tom Grennan, SOAK and Self Esteem. It would seem that Sophie has been on tour for most of the past decade or more, and we talk about this, about trying to maintain your personal and musical identity during lockdown. We chat about touring, favourite venues, and discuss the music of the Zingzillas and Rastamouse. Seriously.
