Life Talks with Piers Day

Will Holcroft - Music Lockdown Sanity and his new record.

During lockdown, university student Will found himself confined to his hall of residence, struggling to stay sane in isolation. His guitar became his lifeline — a way to lift others’ spirits while pouring his own emotions into music. Out of those long days came his first record, “Bored” — a masterpiece that had been echoing in his mind ever since, now finally released. This spontaneous conversation with Will offers a raw and honest look at those dark, uncertain times and how he’s kept his creative fire burning. We’ll also explore how he’s turned his degree into a thriving career in advertising and marketing, while staying true to his musical roots.
