Show notes

Listen this week as we spin the wheel right back to 2004 and the song "Through" from the Patience album. Hear Shirley tell stories of meeting and paying tribute to the late Michael Parkinson, the difference between hearing someone sing and hearing them right in your ear and lyrics that are perhaps more prescient in 2023 than they were 20 years ago.
