- JOBS FOR THE BOYS

- MORRIS MAJOR
- ‘Morris: A Life With Bells On’ is an affectionate English comedy film that’s fast gaining a cult following. Will they be dancing the Threeple Hammer Damson at next year’s Oscars? Colin Irwin gets the background.
- CHINESE BURN
- Ever-questing bassist Jah Wobble has investigated punk, reggae, Arabic, Celtic, Laotian and English music and much more. The Chinese Dub Orchestra might just be his best project yet, reckons Jamie Renton.
- SLEIGHT OF HAND
- They have legions of devoted fans and some fanatical detractors too, so they must be doing something right! Colin Irwin plays devil’s advocate with Steve Knightley and Phil Beer, a.k.a. Show Of Hands.
- JUMBIE RHYTHM
- African roots are alive and well in the Trinidad Carnival. David Katz was very taken with the stilt walking Moko Jumbies and pounding Rhythm Sections…
- SPIRIT LEVELLER
- Zimbabwe’s Chiwoniso mixes the roots of mbira music with the R&B and rock she heard while growing up in the USA. Rose Skelton traces her learning curve.
- BIFF!

- THE FAMILY GONGS
- Jim Moray and Jackie Oates pick up theirs.
Plus dozens of pages of essential adverts.
