There will be a competition for Best Jumper, Worst Jumper, Silliest Jumper, Best Christmas Jumper etc so remember to ‘wear your jumper!’

The title track of the new EP is a laugh out loud look at all those times when you were underdressed and the voice of your mother echoed through the years: ‘Ye shouda wore yer jumper!’

‘Dead Man’s Raybans’ came out of a visit to the St Vincent DePaul Store in Greystones, County Wicklow and is a continual chuckle with a great singalong chorus.

‘Tullyally Takeaway’ is a country song like all the other great country songs except it’s based here!

‘Oldsmobile,’ written 30 years ago was resurrected last year for Roy’s sellout Playhouse show ‘Now And Then,’ and is about a fondly remembered muscle car and carries a ‘Parental Guidance’ warning...bad language

‘Canadian Girls’ is another ‘Now And Then’ song and strangely is about Canadian Girls. The EP is a little naughty and seriously funny.
