Throwing Snow (Throttle Remix UP)

About Me

One day I woke up imprisioned in a studio somewhere in the south west of England. The air smelt funny, not at all like the fresh air of the north, but it was somehow addictive and sort of green. I tried the door but it was locked from the outside. Thankfully a magic mug meant I had an inexhaustable supply of coffee and people threw sausage and egg sandwiches through the bars on my windows. I resigned my self to the only thing that could keep me sane...writing a tune someone, somewhere may like.

Glitter Clatter and Midnight Running featured in Chris Sharma's 'King Lines' which is a feature length insight into one the world's greatest climbers
