Bye bye 2025! ❤️
Skinner & T'witch had a truly wonderful time on their southern tour last week. It was great fun! They feel so lucky, doing what they love to do, and so grateful to be able to be so well received in doing it.

‘Scapegoat’ is a cuttingly satirical song about the all-too-prevalent ‘let’s blame somebody else’ culture. The song will be released on 1st October and will feature on Skinner & T’witch’s second satirical album, Discovering the Pensioner Within, due for release in late 2027.
