But I just don’t do admin, or detail, or book-keeping or social media, or websites, or membership and subscriptions. And I don’t know how to find Covid-safe venues we could use to rehearse, or find audiences who would like to hear us. “That detail stuff is just not my thing, you could say it’s not my forte. So I’m wondering if there are other people who feel the same way I do about singing, but could bring their skills to bear, somewhere we’re less one-man-band and more ensemble players?” So question is, is Rachel just one voice, singing in the darkness?
