Tom Parry - #2.7
Happy-go-lucky kinda guy Tom Parry is Isy's guest for an episode where the things done for love include measuring fingers with string, repeatedly demanding a frenchie, writing a song on a harmonica and kneeling in urine. As with the previous episode, this was recorded in front of an audience at The Phoenix in London way back in February 2020 - those were the days!
