Fun Facts!

We were put on ITV because of this, though it was a bit rubbish cause they twisted everything we meant and wanted to say into "Shetland has a drug problem". Darn!

To get the street empty, we all stayed at Lorcan's house then went out on the street at 3am. After filming this we had to go and film some of Stallion Head, Trapped on Mousa and "The Running Film". It was quite a painful day!

Amanda Palmer (the singer and piano player in the song) mentioned this in her blog. She said:

starts slow, but stick with it. for high school, i'm impressed.
