Music: "The Dragon" Composed & Performed by Wayne Gerard Trotman.
My name is Wayne Gerard Trotman and I was born in the year of the Dragon on the island of Trinidad, West Indies. I came to England in the 80's.
As a professional musician and composer, I've produced award winning music for television and film and composed, produced and performed all the music for 'Ashes to Ashes' BRITAIN'S FIRST KUNG FU FILM.
"If you're in the mood for an offbeat tale of martial arts, Guy Ritchie'esque gangsters and an entertaining film, then Ashes to Ashes is well worth tracking down" - MIKE LEEDER, Impact Magazine - April 2006
