That Time Robbie Williams Shared A Lovely Picture to Only Summon Hate
I attended a Robbie Williams concert. That alone should have just been the bizarre thing – as a music fan with a hunger to write I’ve stooped fairly low previously. I once interviewed Shaznay of The All Saints. I attended a Wing “concert” in a tiny function room in a budget hotel. They served tea and coffee […]Archive
