At Lost Map we pride ourselves on being good palses, intimately acquainted with one anothers’ innermost thoughts, feelings, needs, wants and niche erotic peccadilloes.

Ahead of the Howlin’ Fringe we decided to put that friendship to the ultimate test with the Randolph’s Leap vs Kid Canaveral Big Quiz™. Learn about interesting song facts, unlikely inspirations, the soundtrack to band member nuptials and celebrity dressing rooms in which they have vomited, as they battle it out for not just bragging rights but also the grand prize of an Aldi breakfast fry-up family-pack (RRP £4.99).
