You know fearless investigative reporter and actor Ross Kemp? On Gangs? Do you know that show? also Ross Kemp In The Bloody Warzone? And Ross Kemp Meets Raoul Moat? Him? That Ross Kemp? He featured famed Country music combo The Outlaws in one episode. He did! Listen. But they’re not outlaws, they’re nice.
We turned the brand into Jazz, Classical… and Country flavours. Here’s me making an irritating point about Frank Sinatra to Dave. And here is an ‘advert’ for the Cowboy Association of America.
