Nick Wall spent five years researching, writing, and self-publishing his four-volume world music book while working full time as a civil servant. For thirty odd years, he'd read widely about the history of different countries during spells of political activism, and flirted with an interest in world music. Now he returned to the music with a fresh critical eye and found that he had more to learn than he could ever have imagined. Nick is now embarking on another, more personal project: in 2019 he will become a she and will adopt the name Linda Wall.
