Australian songstress Kate Ceberano has welcomed one of the pandemic’s silver linings – reconnecting with her roots.

She told Deborah Knight how the inability to tour internationally has provided a nostalgic opportunity.

“It feels like the Eighties to me, do to residencies, going back in and around the country doing regional touring.

“You can’t really buy fan base, so I just think it’s a true and authentic way to go back to the people.

“You become an essential service to them, because … you are their primary soundtrack to their emotional experiences.”
