Description:

Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week:

#WhiteStickFest 2022 - the virtual music festival to celebrate International White Cane Day

For the third year in a row, Sam and Matthew report from the red carpet, from backstage and from behind the scenes of the #WhiteStickFest.

This year we feature performances from the likes of KT Tunstall and Sarah McLachlan and a very special International White Cane Day message from Dame Judi Dench.

We get a rundown of what to expect from this year’s festival from  Shane Kendall - the musical maestro who coordinates the production of everything you’ll see and/or hear at this year’s #WhiteStickFest.

We speak to a representative of the event’s sponsor UBER - Rita Peker is their Head of Rider Operations.

And we talk to Kirsten Busby - the soprano with the voice of an angel who’ll be performing at this year’s festival for the second year in a row.
