Life gets in the way. So we bring an interlude of sorts - a show to soundtrack the roof car park at The Trafford Centre.

I just made that up, its not true.

The Trafford Centre bit.

But you can listen to this Sunday at 6 on Reform Radio.

A lot of people don’t realize but the line in the Cohen’s Hallelujah “She broke your throne” is about someone clogging up the toilet.
