Charlie Gillett is joined by an unnamed trio specially created for a festival in Siberia, uniting the musicians Justin Adams, Lu Edmonds and Ben Mandelson.

Ben Mandelson and Lu Edmonds were lifetime members of The 3 Mustaphas 3 and are currently among Billy Bragg鈥檚 Blokes.
Lu was in the Damned for a while (not as a founder member) and Ben had been in Orchestra Jazira, one of the first British bands to play African music (1982-83).
Ben was A&R for Globestyle Records from its formation in 1983 until it sort of petered out, having come close to 100 albums. The label was a branch of Ace Records and it was Roger of Ace together with Ben who initiated the infamous meeting where the term 鈥榳orld music鈥� was coined
Ben - a prolific record producer - was a founder of WOMEX and is still involved, but not as closely as in the early years; he was on the jury for the 大象传媒 Awards as the WOMEX representative
Lu has been in too many bands to mention and has done a lot of work with musicians in Kazakhstan.
Justin Adams was guitarist in Jah Wobble鈥檚 Invaders of the Heart and is currently in The Robert Plant Band. He produced most of Lo鈥橨o鈥檚 albums and at an early Festival of the Desert he heard some Tuareg musicians who impressed him so much, he took them into the nearest radio station to record the album The Radio Tisdas Sessions on his own Wayward label. That band was Tinariwen. He also produced their third album, for Independiente.
The album Soul Science by Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara was winner of Culture Crossing category at this year鈥檚 Radio 3 Awards for World Music
The trio made their world debut at the Sayan Ring Festival in Siberia in July
