It's Chriiiiiiiisssssstttttttmaaaassssss

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Location: Birmingham, UKGuest: David Baldwin It's Christmas 2025! It's me and David Baldwin's annual Christmas catch-up. But what's this? Is David buying drugs? And why is there so much traffic as we try to get to the park next to the Mac arts centre? And where are we going to park? Ho ho ho homeless men ask us for money, Balders comes good with the driving and we chat about we've been up to! Merry Christmas! PS this was definitely NOT recorded in November before the gig with Sam Nicoresti and Nathan Cassidy as part of Square Eyes TV Festival. Oh no no no it's definitely Christmas Day. Enjoy!!!! Love from all of us in 2025 and glad tidings for 26!
