Staff Review
From Kathleen Hannah's heartfelt introduction, to photographs of a leather clad Joan ready to rock at age fourteen (chubby cheeks and all), Oldham has put together a beautifully designed piece of work  which explores the inspiring story of a young girl who was determined to dedicate her life to music and managed to become an icon in the process.
