So when Bozo say’s “Beat”....you go…..”Yes!”…“Bullyz!”. 13D impressed the BBC Introducing Berkshire Demo Panel judges so much, that they voted him Demo of the Week.

Ben Marwood(live)
Oh my good golly gosh. Scrawling through Chris TT’s press pages, you are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of press out there for him. But I thought I would just tell you what we thought….“Chris has inspired me, made me laugh and given me pause for thought ever since ‘Eminem Is Gay’ first landed on my desk. ‘London Is Sinking’ is darkly brilliant, while ‘9 Red Songs’ is rough, ready and compelling.” Tom Robinson “Chris T-T is a man that we would trust with our lives. If he was standing for Mayor of London, I’d vote for him.” Steve Lamacq
