Charismatic singer of nu-jazz band Misnoma, this feisty English-Algerian singer-songwriter has released her debut solo album “of that ilk”. She performs with live loops of organic instruments: voice, guitar, bass, vocal percussion and a collection of ethnic instruments picked up on her many travels, all played by her and manipulated using the super-programme LIVE. The album showcases some of Barcelona's top-notch musicians: Nico from Calima, Esteban Matuke from Clan Matuke, James Reid from Misnoma.

Pauline Murray (born 8 March 1958 in Waterhouses, County Durham, England) was the lead singer of punk rock band Penetration, originally formed in 1976. In May 1976 18-year-old Pauline Murray saw the Sex Pistols. Murray and her Ferryhill comrades became Pistols devotees, earning for themselves by late 1976 the title of 'Durham Contingent' (coined by the NME). Penetration soon began gigging and debuted on vinyl with their single, "Don't Dictate". The studio albums released were Moving Targets and Coming Up For Air and they have since released a Best of Penetration compilation album.

Dorsey Dixon and his brother Howard Dixon were 2 amongst 7 total siblings, all poor mill workers before they reached their teen years in North & South Carolina. Dorsey Dixon did not start writing his own rural folk songs until age 32, but songs like "Weaver's Life", "Factory Girl", "Babies in the Mill", "The School House Fire" and "Spinning Room Blues" were infused with stories of the poor worker struggles in the southern textile mills, and were later rediscovered by labor & song historians.
