                  Nicola Benedetti admits she cannot


                  bear to look at her concert diary


                  during 'scary and devastating'


                  music industry lockdown




                  She was one of the last performers to take to the stage in Scotland before the

               wide lockdown was declared, admits her enforced hiatus has been “heartbreaking.”
