SO much to adore.. Brutally honest and self effacing in equal measure. Not playing ‘Jonathan’ when supporting Richman 😵 I’d LOVE to have been one of those 6th form girls (I definitely wouldn’t have got up & left 🤭 ) The power of a well intentioned smile was a WAY lovelier ending, than Trump pt. 2 🤦♀️
Me book's in the shops in 8 days time, or you can buy it direct from me today via Bandcamp.
Exciting times. Crazy times! FAMOUS TIMES!
