Excited to see my mates The Lottery Winners at @MancAcademy 1 tonight. Fresh from their No1 debut album, with the follow up due soon, they’re playing *3 nights* in the big room. Their own tour and huge European stadium tour with Robbie in the diary. Big year coming up. Poptastic!
RIP Sugar Pie DeSanto.
