Fabric100: Craig Richards, Terry Francis & Keith Reilly

Disregarding the obvious numerical milestone, it feels like an appropriate time for the Fabric series to evolve and Fabric 100 marks the perfect bookend to the series, with Craig and Terry returning to finish what they started.

Music Video: Asa 808 – Love Trumps Fear

Asa 808 ‘Love Trumps Fear’ is part of a double headed single whose flip side ‘Woke’ is already seeing mileage from Avalon Emerson, Breach, Frits Wentink, George FitzGerald and Whitesquare – that acts as a pre-cursor for a forthcoming mini-LP. Already the entrée bodes well for the main course.
