Dial M for Merthyr

RACHEL TREZISE grew up listening to the rock stars of the 1980s and harbouring an ambition to write a warts ‘n’ all rockumentary. This is the story of her quest for the perfect band – and the band she found. At a rock gig in a Rhondda pub, she discovered MIDASUNO; a gaggle of Merthyr kids with a ton of conviction and a penchant for neck breaking guitar riffs. She booked a back seat on the tour bus they call Black Betty to track the band as they razed the British toilet circuit... Part reportage, part social history and part memoir: DIAL M FOR MERTHYR records the struggles of a band from the wrong side of the tracks trying to stay afloat in an ever changing musical and social climate.
