On the facebook group "Preston Lockdown Musical Collaboration Society" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/234308361281190/) the most recent challenge was to record a cover version of a TV Theme. We've gone with this catchy theme from the delightfully twisted and bizarre Australian kids TV show 'Round the Twist'. I used to love this show, particularly the first series, which you can watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-aoeituE38
