From deep inside the darkest woods Cheshire has to offer, the wizards have put together another show full of the usual musical ephemera for your aural pleasure.
there be wizards
This time round they take international relations to outer space, invent a sure-fire winner of a music-based board game and rummage through a postbag full of Jamaican CDs. They also tell us all about running downhill in the company of the undead and take us into a bizarre world of decapitation and fast food.
Oh yes, and they also play a load of great music and discuss their favourite new album. All of it, readily available here.
