My clever friend Lynda Waterhouse is part of a team producing films for Southwark starring residents of Elephant and Castle talking about their childhoods and formative years in the borough. This is the latest.

Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz, a server with a bunch of FLACs from Bandcamp, physical media, take your pick man.
