what a strange year,from the high and togetherness of the murcia gathering,where everybody wore their versionist badge with pride to the ongoing farce that calls itself v now.just talked with tim/don fe on the phone and basically we feel the same way.im even thinking of dropping the name v from the gathering poster as i feel bad about promoting a site i have no faith in.so it might end up as el bibs reggae rubadubinnapub in association with rdw,ukrg radio.the irony is steve is partially responsible for reggae dubwise.if v was still flowing,im sure rob wouldnt have felt the need to form rdw.i think he should sell up now and retain a bit of dignity.for in the end if he is truthful he will realise he is responsible for the low value of the site as well.the fact that he thinks he owns the v back catalogue is ludicrous,he should just give them to rob for nothing.either that or a lot of artists will be consulting their lawyers.it seems the august gathering will be both a beginning and a end.
