Summary

Issue 7 of The Nut (November 1995) is an expanded, news-heavy edition reflecting a buoyant and increasingly interconnected rapper scene. It opens with dramatic coverage of the International Sword Dance Festival’s late rescue, moving from Carlisle to Scarborough, and includes major updates on DERT ’96 in Burton-upon-Trent. The issue features a double team profile of Dorset Buttons and Short Circuit, detailed “Rapper Roots” research on Walbottle and North Walbottle, and extensive reports on tours, workshops, birthdays, and overseas adventures. Lively opinion pieces, letters, and surveys chart growing regional strength, rising standards, and a confident sense that these are “golden days” for rapper sword dancing.
