cris cheek: demotic poet and performer. His research into song-poetry in Madagascar led to a Sony Gold Radio award in 1995. "Vocalizations that seamlessly weld plummy Olivien Shakespeare to Hollywood demons, mournful blues to Madagascan laments ... able to pull through them texts that glimmer and shudder in social fierceness." Sianed Jones: Welsh banshee queen of the distorted funk fiddle, with a voice to die for. "Not so much accompanying herself on the violin, more using the instrument as a schizoid alter ego."
