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. Recording days were troubled and long, vocal takes thrown away, chairs smashed, banjo strings snapped and egos squashed into the lyric sheets – but worth every minute when you hear Tim’s vocals, caught like a snapshot from an old brownie camera….painting an honest picture through music and song is the hardest thing to achieve. Even through his illness Tim did this….every take filled with truth, theatre and pain.” Colin Winston-Fletcher – Tim Roses producer for 'Snowed In' "
