BUDDY HOLLY SMACKED MY DERB (SMILES MASHUP)

And so we arrive at the final edition of COOKED FRESH for the year, it's been a long and fucking bumpy one huh?

I just want to thank all of the people that have supported me over this year, from a serious case of writers block to smashing out some of the tunes I'm honestly proudest of, to playing my first proper live gig. 

There's more to come next year just you wait, I'm gonna tear some fucking walls down.
