Thank You @tomrobinsonmusic !
Hi POPE. Great song - lyrics are very meaningful indeed and your efforts are to be commended. All of us are in dark places from time to time - some are, sadly, there for far too long, but music can be a way to move forward. Well done - and good luck with the video. And - there is an offer here - I will support your endeavours £ for £ if that will help. You know where to get hold of me. Aristotle.

Really looking forward to this: a pre-Christmas show singing with Spike's amazing SASBand alongside the likes of Kiki Dee, Fish, Chris Thompson & soul legend Madeline Bell (Blue Mink, Elton John, Rolling Stones etc).

Always loved your Christmas Eve shows back in the late 70s Tom.
Have a wonderful evening Tom x
Being an ”old” TRB-fan I wonder if you’re planning to perform in Sweden sometime...?
