Julia began her screen career in television sketch show 'Big Train', has starred in TV comedies including 'Gavin & Stacey' and 'I'm Alan Partridge' and films including 'Love Actually' as well as writing and starring in the acclaimed BBC dark comedy series 'Nighty Night.' Mercedes Grower has had several film and television acting roles including Guy Ritchie's Revolver and made her directing debut with the dark comedy film ‘Brakes,’ which also starred Julia.  

When Julia and Mercedes were guests on the Radcliffe & Maconie show back in 2018 talking about Brakes, they revealed to Stuart that they had written music for the film under the band-name Sybil.  Now, as they release the song from the film as a single, they chat to Mark and Stuart about writing music together.
