A happy and prosperous New Year to all

Looking back, one of my favourite albums of 2010 has to be Tiger Suit by K T Tunstall

K T is an amazing talent going from strength to strength, here is a clip of her debut on UK TV, showing her use of a loop pedal, a really talented artist.

Have a great 2011 everybody.
