It's ideal for musicians, in schools, even DJ sets, the list is endless.

IS IT? OR IS THAT, IN ACTUAL FACT, THE END OF THE LIST?

The Dube.

  Is that a fact, is that fact, or is it myth or mystery?

The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me.. Is Dube

"Stars have already begun ordering them for recording sessions and live tours, from iconic musicians such as jazz mogul Courtney Pine to multi-platform entertainers like Radio 1's (Comedy) Dave Vitty."

Weird news. When he played for Utd, he used to get his head buffed in the same place that my Mum went for her hair cuts. She got me a signed photo of him wearing that monstrous green and gold Newton Heath kit.

He had it on Soccer AM

near end of season. Gave it a blast, not as, ahem, dube-ious as it initially sounds. Actually got a decent sound out of it & marketing it to schools and customising for special needs, etc...seems he's done his homework.

He basically said, even if it don't come off, it's been a bit of fun.
