Tim
Rose - 'Snowed In' " 'Snowed In' was a hard, if not near impossible album to make. Producing Tim Rose in his final year was tough – like trying to tame a lion with a rubber chair.

Even through his illness Tim did this….every take filled with truth, theatre and pain.” Colin Winston-Fletcher – Tim Roses producer for 'Snowed In' "
