One of the country's top reggae and dub acts, founded in 1993 by Greg Roberts and Tim Bran. Their debut album 360° set the stage for the follow up, Second Light, to be cited as a favourite of John Peel's and saw them play at Glastonbury just one year after their formation. Continuing to record and release new music, Dreadzone for many years hosted Dubweiser at Notting Hill Arts Club, and subsequently released Once Upon A Time in 2005. Their continued popularity remains a testament to their presence in British music.

Edinburgh-born singer/songwriter who fronted indie pop group Orange Juice. Their 1983 hit single Rip It Up somehow failed to spark the expected step into megastardom, and it wasn't until 1994 that Collins got his second hit, the awesome A Girl Like You from his Gorgeous George album. Fame has stubbornly shied away from Collins since, but he remains a massive cult hero in his native Scotland.

Nouvelle Vague was started by well known French trip-hop/jazz producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. The name is a pun on the term 'new wave' as well as being used to describe 'bossa nova' in Portugese. For this project the duo took songs they loved by bands such as Joy Division and The Cure then re-interpreted them, using young female vocalists who'd never heard the originals. The result is an intoxicating mix of bossa nova, jazz and sixties pop.

Seminal Scouse maverick who, along with Ian McCulloch and Julian Cope, pioneered the Eighties art-indie scene. His debut gig was at the legendary Eric's in Liverpool - the night it was raided and closed down for ever. He bounced back with a series of bands - Wah! Heat, Wah! and The Mighty Wah! - and achieved chart success with the anthemic 'The Story Of The Blues' in 1982. Still writing great songs, Wylie's solo shows provide entertainment both musically and through his extravagantly opinionated conversation. The man's a legend, miss him at your peril!

Initially formed as a punk-pop trio by three schoolkids from Boston, the Lemonheads came close to becoming major stars in the early nineties. The hint of country music in some of their songs was unusual for the time, but the catchiness of their material and the charisma of frontman Evan Dando made the Lemonheads natural candidates for big time success. The band's discography began in the late eighties, reaching a commercial peak with 1992's 'It's a Shame About Ray' and the followup 'Come On Feel the Lemonheads' (1993). Mentioning the name 'The Lemonheads' can still provoke wide-eyed excitement in their legions of loyal fans.

Rare is the band that can captivate both punk rock kids and folk music fans. Rare still is a band that can do this by playing a ferocious combination of traditional blues, Appalachian folk, and ragged gospel. But The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir does just that.
