Wonk are back on top. 2019 was a funny year of line-up changes and behind the scenes cock-ups. Happily we ended the year with a bang with the addition of new members Max Hanman on drums and my 3-year-old daughter Vezzy on keys and vocals. I’ve been cracking the whip hard and it’d starting to show. Some of our gigs of recent have been some of my personal ever shows. I just wanna thank our fam for your continued support. 2020 is gonna be fucking jazz…
…OK so that’s not quite worked out to plan has it?
Anyway, keep smiling, keep loving your neighbours and keep pissing on the newspapers and smashing televisions. FUCK THE “NEWS”. The establishment is beyond evil. All we can do is try and love our brothers and sisters whatever colour, creed, religion, shape size and taste in jeans.
