Me & my Mum agreed to save our Christmas gifts ‘til we saw each other but that day never came. I found she had bought me this Cornershop LP, the happiest sounding record ever! It’s far from how I’m feeling... but the sun came out for a bit ☀️

It has been heartwarming to see so much love coming in for King Rocker & we’re overwhelmed by the reaction. Biggest of love to these two for believing in Robert and making it happen. Was a real moment, knowing everyone was sat there watching together. Nightingales, onwards !
