But I'm here for you is close both ways between wanting Street and the B 5120 This is all sort of to the north of Dunstable the police are dealing with something there some kind of incident that M 25 looking slow anticlockwise from 13 to 11 staying stands a chance see a very cool changed it's. Gone but this is the resulting queue to the north of London and is going to end up a street as close as part of the A won both ways just before you get up to Highbury corner the Holloway Road beyond the big roundabout. There is part of the A one is also closed northbound. Road So all those roads approaching the big roundabout are affected one way or another 23 and northbound just before 5 North thank you from just after junction 9 they will affect you for coming out of . A long queue approaching. Really I'm not quite sure where the problem is all from the fact there are reports of some sort of obstruction on the road there in Bristol the police have closed the M 32 in both directions between junctions $3.00 and $2.00 so at the Bristol the motorway some kind of incident taking place there in $48.00 the 7 bridge is still closed for those. 6 tomorrow morning and finally there is no service on London's over Tottenham barking side 47010200 is the number more travel news can I get you anything over Dubai and France are struggling to do the same.

You know as we call the colors because we felt like it didn't really have one theme running throughout the whole thing was very kind of different even sonically there's almost different things going on and we found instruments it's interesting how you come up with the assaults you properly lock you selves away and down in the he said they sat with the 1st album didn't yeah yeah. How long were you locked in a little but we had little different cottages around the peninsula so that the main one really was a 6 month stint and a little look out the window and you're looking at the sea and the mountains and I was so hard job there was it was it was good times but it was winter when you say the peninsula what Peninsular is it something the peninsula was there on the sleigh had drivers called and we just want to be civil part the way it is it really is how do you all know each other. There's a really small town. Which people are the only musicians of our age. But so you did you know each other growing up if you will from the area yeah in our own YEAH AND And so what was the genesis of the band what did you decide.
