The Antarctic Winter

One place that is high on my list of must see places is Antarctica. I would love to experience this fragile and awe inspiring landscape first hand.

A friend of mine Kirk Watson (a seasoned Antarctica veteran) is filming his experiences of life from the UK base at Rothera over the next year.  If you ever wanted to see what an Antarctic Winter would be like and to find out what people who live there get up to check out Kirk Watson’s blog on life in Antarctica. The blog covers not only just the snow and ice but also tent cuisine, fun on ski-doos, rock climbing & band practice.


The latest blog sees them ski-dooing over Crevasses on a stunning Antartic winters day. There are some fantastic images of these beautiful but deadly cracks in the ice.

Some instrumental versions of my songs have been used on his video clips, and I am planning on writing some more pieces inspired by the landscapes found there.
