When I was introduced to the Amateurism Collective in 2020, Leo Walton’s records were a happy distraction from the isolation of the pandemic when he, alongside his 3 other friends launched the Amateurism 24/7 radio station. The knowledge that I was tuning-in with a community that were also listening was a warming respite and one that was reinforced when I read the gratitude in WhatsApp groups & on instagram. Leo was positively interrupting the status quo with music and creating a space for connection.
We sat down in my kitchen and talked about the beginning’s of Amateurism and reflected on what makes a strong community. We chat about the art of discovery and the beauty of doing something for nothing. Leo is an astute, dedicated and passionate person - and a really good listen, I personally learnt a lot from our chat. I hope you get a chance to experience what he has created in the real at some point but for now, enjoy tuning in to him on this weeks episode.
