MICHAEL BERK

For the last 10 years, Michael Berk has been stunning audiences around the UK, with little more than a guitar and the occasional percussionist.

DUBVERSION

Minister of Propaganda @ the People's Republic of Disco, dubversion has been deeply moved by the work done by the ISM as a whole and in particular by his much braver friends who have gone to the West Bank and is only too happy to lend his mediocre skills but bulging record bag to the cause.
