Revenge of the Middle Aged Blokes - May 2015 Carry Bag Man - May 19th, 2015

The Fall’s new collection of tunes and Stewart Lee’s ‘How I Escaped My Certain Fate..’ book have really cheered me up over the last few weeks. As luck would have it I managed to catch both of them live in May; not on the same night, obviously… In a small club in Wakefield the Fall…
