Like Placeholders EP | Forest Bed...

Just bought the debut EP, Placeholders, from Forest Bed which includes my good friend Jay on bass.

Been looking forward to this for a while.

We were in the lounge on Thursday evening with the TV on, something finished (I can't remember what) and we just left it going in that way you do when you're not really concentrating on it.

The film The Good Liar came on, starring Sir Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren. We knew nothing about it but let it play.

I'm so glad we did, it was brilliant. McKellen plays Roy, a career con man who meets Mirren's Betty on a dating site with the intention of stealing her life savings. Needless to say, there are many twists and turns. I suspected how things might go at the end but definitely not how it actually happened.

The whole thing was so well written and the acting was superb – you expect nothing less from those two.
