20.8 Talking Heads (Apple's Task)

I have recently bought tickets to see both David Byrne and Jerry Harrison, formerly of Talking Heads, next year with my husband. David is performing his most recent solo album, whilst Jerry is performing Remain in Light, the band's album from 1980, which was recorded in The Bahamas.
