Let’s celebrate! – The Birthday Cake & M...

APOSTROPHE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode

“Surely Mary wouldn’t miss one of those little buttercream shrubs…”


Today’s Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe is all about birthdays. Jess shares some behind the scenes stories of ways she and Stuart celebrated birthdays on the road; and we have two hilarious Dave and Morley stories about birthdays that have gone awry. In The Birthday Cake, Dave is left in charge of delivering Mary Turlington’s carefully decorated cake to a party; while in Morley’s 40th Birthday Bash, Dave throws Morley a party. Unfortunately the caterer he has hired to put the event together sets up the party at the wrong house.
