Fresh from the release of her acclaimed debut album Cinepop, Glasgow musician Radhika joins Zara for the Series 1 finale with a spiral that many young musicians are scared to talk about: why do so many music promoters pay so little, and why does it feel harder than ever to make a living from music?
