"Winter" is a song by Scottish band Love and Money, which was released in 1991 as the third and final single from their third studio album ''Dogs in the Traffic''. The song was written by James Grant and produced by Steve Nye. "Winter" reached No. 52 in the UK Singles Chart and remained in the Top 100 for two weeks. Release "Winter" was originally to be released as the first single from ''Dogs in the Traffic'', with a scheduled release date of 28 May 1991. However, shortly before its release date, Fontana chose to release " My Love Lives in a Dead House" in favour of "Winter" as they felt the song's title would hinder its success during the spring season. "Winter" was later released as the album's third and final single on 18 November 1991. As a publicity stunt to generate airplay on BBC Radio 1, Fontana organised the dumping of three tons of snow outside the BBC's headquarters, Broadcasting House.

He was born in Northolt, Middlesex. Bruce started his career at Trevor Horn's Sarm West Studios.
