Trick Mist – Cracking Settlement

Of this latest video from his  EP ‘Jars in Rows’, Manchester-based Irish trad/electronica Gavin ‘Trick Mist’ Murray writes:

If anyone in Spiddal saw some fella running around in the middle of the night with a torch and an iphone at arms length it was probably Graham making this video!
