Verse Interview: UniSA Vice Chancellor and Unlikely Street Busker David Lloyd
|
Verse Magazine is your magazine; UniSA's student-run publication, created by students, for students, distributed both in print and online. In this exclusive, we uncover the less well-known musical life of UniSA Vice-Chancellor David Lloyd. We speak to the man himself about everything music; from his Dublin-based gigs in his 20s, to his former band member that went on to become a boyband sensation, to what he really thinks of U2, and his own chance encounter with Enya.
