Thanks Kevin! It was a 2 page spread, with photos.... and nearly half the space was taken up by the biggest photo, which was the one of Bellowhead! (Who are not Euro-disco-Celtique).

The quote from John Battle was also quite interesting - "This is a music that is very much still alive and not locked in the past. At a recent music event in my constituency in Leeds, I was expecting young people to be playing heavy electric rock and they turned up with acoustic instruments and sung unaccompanied".

Of course the pedant in me is wondering why that wasn't "sang unaccompanied" and whether that was John Battles grammatical error or Terry Kirby's.
