One of the best new songs not on Ian Thornley’s latest album,
Tiny Pictures, is a track he recorded to help raise awareness
for the charity Spread The Net. 'Provide', for which the Toronto
rock singer-guitarist also made a video, directly addresses
the issue of malaria-carrying mosquitoes in Africa
and how a simple bed net can save lives...
