Coming from sleepy Suffolk the north is like some sort of mythical land. Although that said I do have a good friend up there whom I visit when I can, normally for gigs and general drinking frivolity. In an… Continue Reading →
I’ve always been a bit of a fan of parody in film, Austin Powers, Kung Pow, Dewey Cox all heavy hitters upon my list of top movies of all time. But we’re not here to discuss the silver screen, we’re… Continue Reading →
