Column: Rocking on for another year by Sian Ponting from Enable Youth

With Record Store Day just hours away, it seemed somewhat fitting that a few words be written to commemorate the passing of Storm Thorgerson who passed away sadly on April 18, aged 69. By no means a household name, but to generations of music lovers, an unspoken and unrecognised genius.
