Whilst this track is clearly about a bar, the sentiment chimes with something I am reflecting on in this weeks episode of TFM.

Wilko has been a high street constant in my life, and because it had an administrative base close to the town where I grew up, then it always felt like a local success story.

As a child I spent a lot of time at the Little Theatre in Retford, my Dad was an active member of this voluntary organisation and when (after years of trying) they managed to raise money for a new building, Wilkinsons kindly donated all the paint required to decorate it from box office to auditorium.

I don't know why I remember that particularly, but I do and it folds into the magic and myth of Wilko for me.

Stay safe.

Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.

If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.
