I'm not sure if any of you have heard the rumours out there but MCD are apparently losing the rising stage this year. If this is the case whay has Tom Dunne had a witnness rising act of the week for so long, purely for Guinness Branding? If they don't put the show on they're going to miss out on such great acts as Johny Pyro, THINK, The Chalets, Analogue Mindfeild, The Tall Stories and you all know the rest. Is there something we all can do? organise a musicians strike? All ideas welcome!
