Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (16th September)

Well tonight saw us Mackerels in down town, home town Charlbury (population circa 5,000) watching the annual egg throwing competition. It was great fun, if a little messy towards the end.

New Single From Jason Ward

We Mackerels will always have a soft spot for singer songwriter Jason Ward thanks to his wonderfully bitter track Bless You that perfectly soundtracked a particularly appropriate point in our lives. So it is good to see he is back with a new single You’re Gonna Be OK – a short, but poppy jaunt of melancholic comfort. It’s not available to download yet, but have … Continue reading New Single From Jason Ward
