Hannah Nepil is a London-based classical music journalist and critic who a few years ago was sent by The Financial Times to cover the Ice Music Festival in Norway. She came back with frozen tonsils, a voice like Marge Simpson’s and an idea: to set up a magazine devoted entirely to idiosyncratic events like this which weren’t being covered elsewhere. The result was The Cusp.
