Description

Tom Winstanley, aka Mrs Cakehead, and members of his band perform on stage and talk about their music. Band personnel comment on their preference for not rehearsing, feeling it would be pointless due to the unpredictable nature of some of their instruments and material, and would detract from the freshness of the music. Tom also reflects on how coming from the Rossendale Valley in the South Pennine hills in Lancashire has influenced their development and output.
