Simple Minds Down Under on The Billy Sloan Show This Saturday (9 March)
On the Facebook profile for Billy Sloan’s radio show he posted that this Saturday’s show the airing of ‘Simple Minds Down Under’ will take place. Of course there is the ‘mysterious’ A&R man that Billy keeps mentioning that I keep wondering whether it’s Ross Stapleton or not. I guess I’ll find out on Saturday! This…
