Supra-happy to have recently bin in the studio + out playing with OLYMPIC CLAMPDOWN - a fantastic collection of fabulous musicians, the brainchild of TYRONE THOMAS (ex ATV), featuring SYLVIA HALLET (RSC/ENO ), percussion from the ever inventive ARNOLD LANE, solid rockin' bass from COLIN MALONEY, and fellow DEEPLY VALE survivor, and jazz sax and general guru Jim.
