“It’s been a long hard road making The Bench but we are getting there and we are [...]
Being that it’s St Andrew’s Day, it is only appropriate to continue our focus here at AndyErupts on all things Scottish; and so boils and ghouls, I bring you actor, writer, director and producer David Paul Baker: a native of Paisley, Scotland.
