SNOW FLAKES has a video, which like all great Xmas singles was not filmed in December... the time being the spectacularly dull time that was February 2021 AKA lockdown #2... this was about the most fun day possible at the time...

And as it’s @bandcamp.com Friday, it’s would be a fine day to simply pick up a vinyl copy of our IN THERE LIKE SWIMWEAR album or indeed the entire digital output, for not very much at all….
