94 sleeps, 9 hours, 34 minutes and 30 seconds...

Me and the Crap Bastards, Shoes and Socks off, James Moss and Greatest Hits, have recorded a Christmas single called 'Merry Christmas and a Crappy New Year' It will be released through BSM in December and it's hilarious!
There will be 4 B-Sides that will be an exclusive track from each of us. We will be doing another short 5 date tour to support it, which will be immense!
