September 17, 2024 Paul Kerr 1
If folk know the name Cindy Lee Berryhill it’s most probably due to her role in the 1980s’ Anti Folk movement in New York’s Lower East Side. It’s rumoured that it was Berryhill who coined the […]

September 11, 2024 Graeme Tait 26
This new feature may well be the most challenging yet for the poor AUK writer. Previous tasks have required them to write gushingly about their favourite artists, both high profile and those under the radar, along […]

Dirt Road Souls “(The Life and Times of) Johnny Moonshine”
