♬ ' Common Decency' by Hackney Colliery Band.
Oh.wow.
I saw these guys performing tonight, and when they did their cover of 'all of the lights' originally by Kanye West - goosebumps all over my arms.
No joke. No lie. Not being dramatic about how fantastically uplifting this band is at all. Do not believe I forgot to take this cake in for them. I'm eating two slices out of regret and guilt as I type. Check them out and please support talent in Hackney!
Now back to this wholesome, hearty and damn right delicious cake.
