Dervish
- Julian Gurr
interviewed Dervish at last autumn's "Return To Camden Town Festival"
and it gave him the opportunity to reflect with them on the truly
outstanding decade of Irish music making for which they have been
responsible.
The
Give Way Sisters -
Hector Christie takes tea and bites off more than he can chew with
the Give Way Sisters. This young Scottish band played at the Cambridge

for the youngest band ever to play at Cambridge.
Mairead
Nesbitt - It's
all too tempting to say that fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt has 'many strings
to her bow'. After all, we're talking here about somebody who has
played in a classical orchestra at 16, who's backed performers from
Van Morrison to Sharon Shannon, who's been the lead fiddler of Lord
of the Dance and its successors, who has taught and written, and
who is now launching herself on a solo career.
