"The Monkey and the Whale" - Brontosaurus' debut album, is finally released.

The Brontosaurus boys are partying in their home town of Severn Beach tonight as the egg they have been nuturing at the caravan park for almost a decade, has finally hatched.

However, what started out as an innocent launch party for their new album turned into a near catastrophe as the coastguard had to be called out at 1am to rescue Connor from the mud flats. Clutching a bottle of champagne and with a pair of frilly knickers hanging from his wrist, he was caught out by the tide during a late night chat with the Second Severn Crossing .
