Interview with Plunkett - Independent music for Independent Minds

I interview Ian & Lara Plunkett - a husband and wife Duo from Italy. We talk about their album 14 Days. We also talk about the importance of independent music and the power of the individual to choose for themselves the music that they like. Lara speaks excellent English by the way. I thank the Plunketts for their time and for sharing their music with the world. If you are so inclined, support independent artists by buying from them direct. Enjoy.
