Shanine Salmon on Soap Star Singles

Welcome to The Head Ballet podcast! Paul Abbott invites guests to discuss their favourite novelty songs. We just can't escape 1986! This time theatre reviewer, Shanine Salmon, has brought along a classic single from a TV soap star to kick off a discussion all about the who/how/why of those people who make the leap from the TV studio to the Recording Studio. P.S. Australians not included - they're too good at it!
