Jonathan Zwartz is a jazz musician, composer/arranger and live music consultant and board member of APRA the performing rights body.

He speaks about how musicians were the first to lose out due to the virus and may be the last back in after the pandemic and reflects on what more government might do to support the arts/creative sector.
