		  	<description><![CDATA[Longstanding Bristol band who burst on to the scene back in 1984 with their eclectic mix of rock, folk, roots, pop and poetry; a pyrotechnic blur of dulcimers, bagpipes, turntables, dancing and lots of guitars, all bound together in tendrils of freeform poetry.]]></description>

		  	<description><![CDATA[Another round of popstar hopefuls compete in the UK's biggest talent search. Judged on appearance, personality, stage presence and dance routines by Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Danni Minogue and Louis Walsh, the contestants are whittled down one by one each week by public vote often enduring a barrage of abuse from the judges in the process. The prize for the winner is a £1million record deal and an enormous amount of press coverage with the show becoming more popular each year.]]></description>

		  	<description><![CDATA[Revered singer/songwriter who until recently has exclusively gone under the pseudonym Mull Historical Society. Back with new material and supported by a full band, MacIntyre's inventive songwriting and blend of experimentalism and driving pop have brought him international acclaim. Comparable to the likes of fellow Scots James Yorkston and Snow Patrol and American artists M Ward and The Flaming Lips, MacIntyre makes the kind of lilting pop whose appeal reaches a wide and discerning audience.]]></description>

		  	<description><![CDATA[Hotly tipped New Yorkers fusing the sounds of My Bloody Valentine and the Jesus &amp; Mary Chain to create euphoric synthesized pop with a dark and brooding edge. 'The image of rock 'n' roll turned inside out: all the ugly viscera spilling out in an excess of anger, ghostly melodies, and crushing noise.' - Brainwashed.]]></description>

			<title>Fairport Convention</title>
			<link>http://www.ents24.com/ejump.html?ra=104956&amp;referer=rss</link>
		  	<description><![CDATA[Fairport Convention are often credited with being the first English electric folk band. Formed in April 1967, with Simon Nicol, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings and Shaun Frater, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' style music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional English tunes and songs. Bedevilled by numerous personnel changes they temporarily disbanded in 1979 but reformed in 1985. Since then, they have enjoyed stability and continue to tour and record regularly.]]></description>

		  	<description><![CDATA[This band go from strength to strength and are that rare thing - true musicians in a hyped-up world. They appeared as the Brit-pop thing was waning - which helped in getting their debut album 'Expecting To Fly' the top slot in the UK charts. Musically, they endorse a tight but lithe sound, with a nod towards psychedelia, that falls somewhere between The Stone Roses and Oasis.]]></description>

		  	<description><![CDATA[Originally formed in 1999, The Music are one of the most enduring bands on the indie scene. Influenced by the Madchester groups of the late eighties and early nineties, with a definite leaning towards the Oasis breed of loud, sleazy rock'n'roll, The Music have managed to survive the onslaught of newer, more crisp indie bands by staying just exactly as they are.]]></description>

			<title>The Fall</title>
			<link>http://www.ents24.com/ejump.html?ra=1547&amp;referer=rss</link>
		  	<description><![CDATA[Seminal 80s band led by the inimitable Mark E Smith, 'Bard of Salford' and lyricist for the post-punk generation. Their music defies orthodox classification and Smith's lyrics challenge the audience with 'a return to an oral tradition that fashioned an ugly new set of features to graft over the similarly rancid roots of stone age rock'n'roll' (NME 1983).]]></description>

		  	<description><![CDATA[Shimmering indie-rock from this youthful Scottish four-piece. The View make the kind of music that Primal Scream and The Charlatans would be proud of - clashing guitars, swirling melodies, unexpected crescendos and psychedelic vocals.

		  	<description><![CDATA[The trio of Tom, Rich &amp; Tim has been catapulted to stardom, from the rural tranquility of Sussex, in the last couple of years. The bright lights have done little to faze these three, who continue to produce emotive, yet passionate pop rock, welcoming praise from critics and an army of loyal fans alike. Following the departure of their guitarist, the band pushed on, and so impressed Fierce Panda's Simon Williams that he immediately offered to issue their next single, 'Everything's Changing', in 2002. The whirlwind began there, leading them to win Best British Breakthrough Act and Best British Album, for 'Hopes And Fears', at the Brits 2005.]]></description>

Their chart smash reworking of the Gary Numan classic Freak Like Me got to No 1, and also earned the sassy trio a Q Award for Best Single. Since then they have taken the pop world by storm with a top 5 platinum album (Angels With Dirty Faces) and a Brit Award for Best Dance Act in 2003.
