We rewind the clock to 2020 today... just before the Pandemic and to the release of The Lottery Winners debut album.

This modern day classic was the culmination of a decade of writing, gigging and damn hard work for the band and resulted in a record full of energy, passion and influences.

In this chat with Thom, Katie, Joe and Rob from the band we talk about how that release felt after 10 years of working hard, the impact of the covid lockdown just ONE week after the album release and the personal nature of Thom's songwriting.
