Can you spare a vote for an indie for the Songlines World Music Awards? :)

Hi Everyone, Two of my albums I just heard are up for the Songlines World Music Awards 2014 under both Best Cross Cultural Collaboration and also Best Band. The albums are Tiga Tej Tibs (released in Sept, latest review attached for info) and also a live concert album called Live and Raw. Any votes really help as I am always up against bigger labels with marketing and PR etc so it is hard as a small independent to break through. The voting link is below. I suggest voting for Tiga Tej Tibs on both as it is more world music based than the live album. If you vote you are entered into a raffle to win tickets to Womad Festival etc. I sent you all CD-rs or download links to Tiga before it was released in Sept but shout of course if you missed that. http://www.songlines.co.uk/phpQ/fillsurvey.php?sid=16 For best newcomer and best artist that is up to you, there are some juicy ones in there! Many thanks Dan www.invisiblesystem.com

Found a 4 star review of the new album in WHSmith today, R2/Rock n Reel Mag by Dave Haslam - 'another gem' - good shit :) - the track we are in the middle of making the video for was identified as one of the strongest too

World Music Fans, a new band from Sicily, their first digital single now available on itunes etc, SoloSensi, they are a great young band that I have been recording/producing (and playing bass/keys with) - check them out and spread the word!

Songlines review of the new album, made me smile Sometimes 'straighter' world music journalists just don't get Invisible System but Nige Tassell made me smile with this one! Although as usual tastes differ , I love the metal riffs hence listening to Zep all night ;)
