But since leaving the house almost a decade ago Michael has endeared himself to many with his obvious respect for solid workmanship as found in our great Victorian Railways and the daily toil of the working man, as well as the underprivileged (Michael becomes a Single Mum 2003)and the troubled (Death of a school friend 2002) .

Seann Walsh has managed to search deep inside himself to find the inner strength to get out of bed and all the way into his support act’s car, parked just outside his flat JUST FOR YOU.
