MICF Daily – Friday March 28

Last year they came on the show and kind of destroyed the joint. Yet, they were the first ones to ask to return. So we invited Broden Kelly and Mark Bonanno from Aunty Donna back to see if they would make nice with host Mike Brown. The result? Maybe just listen for yourself. See Aunty Donna’s World’s Greatest Showbag, 9.30pm tonight at Trades Hall. Tickets from Ticketmaster.
