The Dirty Dozen

The Dirty Dozen

One of the most exciting things about music is the discovery of a new band or artist and this is what ‘The Dirty Dozen’ is all about.

This is a relatively new area to Americana-UK dedicated to highlighting newer artists that our writers have stumbled across whilst trawling the clubs, pubs and mountains of records in our office. ‘The Dirty Dozen’ is 12 set questions that will have the ‘where, who’s and why’s’ that will give more than just an introduction to these undiscovered gems. This is not a ‘pat on the back’ or A-UK ‘helping out’ but simply because there is so many fantastic new comers to the Americana umbrella that we have been left with no choice but to create a section to cope with the sheer volume. In true Americana-UK fashion we will cover as much and broad a spectrum as humanly possible, undoubtedly you’ll find something to add to that dusty ol’ record collection and gig calendar here.
