MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO

Thumpey Monkey News


So what I am I going to do on a Wednesday night now ?

Well it looks like I'm having the spring & summer off music, and will be using the time
to practice falling out of my little dinghy in the midweek race series up at cotswold water park.

Keeping fit for getting back to rehearsing again, come the autumn.
So I will looking into the "drummer wanted" ads come the end of summer.

Cheers
Macca
