It&#8217;s an anthem for the 2020\u2019s: I think it captures the zeitgeist quite succinctly. It\u2019s not much of a spoiler alert to say that it\u2019s one of the very few songs I\u2019ve written that includes a naughty word\u2026 but I think it\u2019s rather cathartic, and it\u2019s got a nice easy chorus you can join in with. It&#8217;s also a taster for Majk&#8217;s new album, \u201cSweets From Strangers\u201d, which is in production now, and details of a launch gig will emerge in due course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On <strong>Friday the 3rd of March<\/strong>, Majk and his wife Beth will be performing a joint gig at a house concert in Craiglockhart, accompanying each other on some of their own songs and tunes, and premiering a couple of exciting (and comedic) pieces that they\u2019ve been working on together. Trading under the name of \u201cThe Kale Thieves\u201d, or \u201cThe New and Original F*ck-ups\u201d, or any one of several dozen other silly band names that they came up with over lockdown, the gig will start at 7.30pm and run till about 9.30-10pm, followed by a folk session.
