Superb night - thanks to everyone who brought it to The Mac. Hadn’t seen the film since the original TV showing - so much I hadn’t seen or forgotten! Stewart, David & of course Robert were all on top form in the intro / Q&A. Wanted them to come back for another round after!

New single ‘Hand Me My Backside’ out today on flexi 45. Some people say they are cheap, shitty & sound awful but others actually like the band & this finds the Fab Five making a racket with all of our usual panache. When they're gone that'll be it thenightingales.lnk.to/HMMB
