Public Address TENUOUS LINK 2
If you’re new to this Tenuous Link process, it’s where we start with a random track then the circuitous connections begin, as each track is linked to the next with a distinct and occasionally obscure or even extremely tenuous association - until finally arriving full circle some time (and many tracks!) later, with a connection to the first one. Got it? Ok - have a listen!

ANDREW MARTIN as Lawrence NOEL FRANSON as Maurice
Maurice is at the family home in Yorkshire, when his younger brother Lawrence surprisingly drops by, hoping to see Maurice and their Mum and Dad - but neither of their parents are at home. The conversation then turns to an explosion in the city centre and the shocking aftermath in the local hospital where Lawrence works - then a darker tone emerges as the pair discuss their parents' relationship - and their late sister Polly.
