Spinal Tap Day – November 12th

12 November 2015

The MMF have decided to name November 12th each year “Spinal Tap Day”. This is because every manager (and in fact artist) should watch the film once a year just to keep their feet on the ground. And it bears repeated watching because every time you see it you notice something new. Of course you could watch it on any day of the year but we will send you a reminder in case you forget. Education is what we are about.
