Worked on The Full Monty TV show for 3 years with Simon Beaufoy but as WGA members @WGAWestwriters we are on strike so won't be doing any promo, interviews or going to our own premieres. Love this show but it is important to win WGA writers strike. Solidarity.

Funny that Spotify used the back cover for the album cover, but pleased this and Shh are finally available. Not hyperbole for me to say this album was one of a few that defined my childhood. Thanks Parents 👊🏻👊🏻
