CescManc ,

Love it!!!

This podcast proves that the lads are just as down to earth as when they started. As a Thatter fan from the beginning, the chance to ear-wig their chats about the old days is magical! Can’t get enough of this series :-)

5 stars for the boys!

Having been a thatter for over 30 years and a keen podcast listener, when they announced this 6 part series I just had to listen.
I have loved every single episode and cried a little when it ended. Listening to the boys talk about their lives and careers has been a fascinating insight and I can’t wait to see what they do next. Please make some more episodes boys! Listening to your beautiful voices has brought light into my life!
