Sun Glitters has made my week this week. This song has lifted spirits and minds - it's only a relaxing melancholy simple beat and rhythm in reality but it's more than that to me. Glitters performs live in the same mould as 'Gold Panda' experimenting and chopping his tunes. After all - he made the... Continue Reading →

In fairness I never expected when we started ‘the Sound Sniffer’ in January that I would be writing about David Kitt, but ‘Hammer Time’ just caught a hold. The Irishman has just made a beauty. Chilled: atmospheric: just simply lovely! Hats off Mr Kitt! https://youtu.be/75Nv7HdyuvU
