Had they been given a few clues they would have come and enjoyed nearly all of the sets. Mind you, I am an ignoramus about marketing so what do I know... You can listen again to Mama Matrix and others at: http://www.rhubarbradio.com/live/venues/default.aspx Many more recordings to follow soon! (OK, not a complete ignoramus maybe...). “someone I spoke to about the programme pointed out how little it said about the acts featured”

Gigbeth advertises itself as large cross section of genres, and yes it did have a lot of unusual acts. But I tried and tried to search throught the list of performers and nothing appealed. I'm sure they can't cater to everyone's taste's, but it was disappointing. The line up this year really disappointed me.
