Welcome to another slice of action to get your eardrums in traction and cause a reactio...you get the idea.

The bloomin' cheek of it! Silent Monkey and I evicted from the tower by the Tonicettes so that they could watch a chick flick. We had to record the show in the gardens (which look magnificent this time of year by the way). So, with a flask of hot sauce and a fistful of ready rub, we set about to bring you Sonic Tonic Episode 5

Kindest regards

Thorax and Silent
