Andry Reilly chats to Megan Black.

Megan is Scottish singer-songwriter known for her 70s-influenced blues-rock sound, featuring themes of feminism and mental health.

They chat about manifesting San Francisco, her new song’ You Have A Way’ and her new album, Rock Goddess, out on 13th February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Perfect for all the heartbroken out there.

Her experience recently having taken up writing for film and tv. Working with people with complex mental health and addiction issues.

They also talk about bridging the divide between Megan Black the person and Megan Black the artist personna, and her dream festival line-up, if she was to create her own festival.
