Anti-comedy performance

little birthday song (again)

scott manley hadley AKA SOLID BALD performs a little birthday cover of Sir Tom Jones’s James Bond 007 theme, THUNDERBALL

Also, if in doubt as to how best to celebrate my special day, why not do us both a favour and pre-order one of the remaining tickets for my October 13th WIP performance of bald personality disorder. Link below. Thank you.
