Godiva Pics to follow 🥰

I am so pleased that if you read the magazine & check out the tracks on "Hot Music Live", one of the stories it tells about the exceptionally healthy state of original music in Coventry & Warwickshire is the very leading & influential role in which female creative artists have played.
