DiS meets Vince Power
Vince Power is described as "the godfather of gigs" on his own VPMG website. You might think that moniker is a tad overstated but really it's not far from the truth, if away from it at all. Having founded the Mean Fiddler in 1982, upon buying a single mus»

Luckily, someone appealed to my better instincts and I did what I am paid to do. Which was to listen to the darned things; ALL FORTY THREE OF THEM. »
Lightspeed Champion & London's Alt Country Scene
What is it about the country and folk modes that make them prime conduits for the disaffection and heartbreak of our nation's youth?

Dot To Dot: The DiS review
This year's Dot To Dot festival line-up was arguably the best one yet in its five year history, so DiS went along mob-handed to both the Bristol and Nottingham legs on the second bank holiday weekend of May.»
