Mrs Sambro here.
Sambro lives in Salford. Why?
We moved here about 5 years ago.
He loves it, but I do not admit to living in Salford. I say Manchester. There are some nice places in Salford of course, but that is true of anywhere, including Blackpool.
(he is going to kill me when he sees this, he will probably change his password)

Here's a recent review from someone I know personally:

They took the music world by storm.
Still international stars today.
