But that's where "The Space Between Things" comes in. This calming and meditative tune is inspired by the Japanese concept of Ma, which refers to the pause in time, the interval or emptiness in space. The song captures the feeling of being still in the moment, of gathering your thoughts and re-centering yourself.</p><p>The artwork for the song is a beautiful image of two oak trees and their reflections in a small lake not far from us.

After a few weeks, the hedge started sprouting shoots, we were amazed that the cut wood wasn't dead, it was very much alive. It has become a living fence - a 'Fedge' as garden designers would call it :) 'Anamnesis' is the intriguing concept that living things possess innate knowledge, perhaps acquired before birth, and that learning consists of rediscovering what is already known.

<p>We’ve been pretty busy in the last 12 months, writing, recording and streaming a lot of new music, both for Whalebone and our dreamy, laid back alter egos <a contents="The Bare Bones" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2NKYLVOD0HH7O1anuALOBU?si=vrEJ6RYZQBGTKILLZ2elDA" target="_blank">The Bare Bones</a>. We’re really excited to let you know that we’ve brought this music together for two new CD albums, one for Whalebone and one for ‘The Beebies’ as we call our aliases, and we think they’re pretty special, even if we say so ourselves. </p>
<p>From the start our aim was to make these CDs as handmade and individual as possible so we’ve gone back to where we started all those years ago and make the albums here in the studio rather than go down the mass produced route. </p>
<p>For the artwork we have decided to hand print each cover from several original linocut printing blocks. As no two prints turn out exactly the same, each cover is unique, which really appeals to us, even though the process is more time consuming. The spines have been handwritten. </p>
<p>We also wanted to use materials that are more environmentally friendly, so the covers are made from 100% recycled card with no shrink wrap. (The CDs are still plastic as a recycled card alternative doesn’t yet exist. When they’re invented we’ll switch straight away.) </p>
<p>The albums are £12 each plus £1.50 P&P and can be ordered direct from our buy page on our website: <a contents="https://whalebone-music.com/buy&nbsp;" data-link-label="Buy" data-link-type="page" href="/buy" target="_blank">https://whalebone-music.com/buy </a></p>

The cover art is a photo taken from an amazing art installation we visited a Comer Woods, on the Dudmaston estate in Quatt. It was a willow circle which acted as a portal, stepping into the woods and experiencing the performances and celebrating the relationship between humans and woodlands throughout time. We hope you like it :)</p>

At the same time, this tune was bubbling around and it seemed to fit these thoughts exactly. We love the way it bursts into a positive and uplifting melody after the hypnotic rhythm of the intro and verse.

<p>Using specially adapted microphones we’ve recorded sap rising in ancient yew trees 🌳 and the underwater soundscape of the river Severn which flows past our studio. We’ve risen early to record the dawn chorus in an ancient sunken green lane and captured the lazy hum of bees at the height of summer. </p>
<p>Blending the beautiful sounds of the natural world with acoustic guitars and ethereal sound washes, we wanted to to create calming, healing music in tune with the rhythms of nature, and the result is <a contents="Earthbone" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://whalebone-music.com/earthbone" target="_blank">Earthbone</a>.</p>
<p>Our first release is <a contents="Castanea Rising" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://whalebone-music.com/earthbone" target="_blank">Castanea Rising</a>. In it the sound of sap rising in a sweet chestnut tree, recorded in a wood a short walk from the studio, blends subtly with our guitars. (The scientific name for Sweet Chestnut is Castanea sativa.) </p>
<p><a contents="Earthbone" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://whalebone-music.com/earthbone">Earthbone</a> is the latest step of our musical journey. Music that truly comes from the earth. </p>

<p>Recorded on nylon string guitars, the aim was to try counter the fast paced, sometimes frenzied world we find ourselves in by writing a calming and cinematic tune. We wanted to capture the pleasure of time spent in quiet contemplation, and the feeling of being still in the moment to gather your thoughts and re-centre yourself. The photo was taken by the studio door, we have a water bowel just outside which gently fills with water each time it rains. One evening, the sun was setting and the reflections were beautiful and peaceful.</p>

<p>When we first heard Ryan Adams perform Oh My Sweet Carolina during a songwriters circle concert and were instantly mesmerised both by the poignancy of the song and Ryan’s achingly beautiful performance, we knew right away that we wanted to record our own version.</p>
<p>We wanted to capture the same emotion in our instrumental interpretation so set up the mics in our studio and started to play. Though we recorded several passes of the tune, we ended up releasing the first take, which we felt managed to capture the feelings and emotion that we were aiming for. We hope you like it :)</p>Whalebonetag:whalebone-music.com,2005:Post/69104452022-03-01T03:34:14-12:002022-03-01T03:46:49-12:00A Spotify Editorial for The Bare Bones<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392911/c5518956b51d7d54c9ae975895b31ab67874a86f/original/fullsizeoutput-1bd5.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

I Believe in Father Christmas is one of the most hopeful and uplifting Christmas tunes written in modern times, and we’ve tried to capture the ‘eyes full of tinsel and fire’ magic of Greg Lake’s original with our instrumental version. Silent Night is possibly the most loved carol ever, so we’ve stuck faithfully to the beautiful melody of the original. </p>
<p>From our alter egos The Bare Bones come two tunes. Carol of the Bells is a beautiful Ukrainian song based on a traditional folk chant, celebrating the coming of the New Year and made popular by John Williams and the Home Alone movies. The melody evokes the ringing of hand bells played at Christmas. Wexford Carol is a haunting Irish carol, possibly of Mediaeval origin. </p>

The design is taken from an original linocut print, cut and hand printed here in Brewhouse Studio, (which as a result had the delicious scent of linseed oil ink hanging in the air for several days.) The cards are available singly (£3.50) or in packs of 5 (£10). You can order them via our buy page, just click the image below:</p>

<p>On Sunday we made a somewhat emotional return to our spiritual home to play for the wonderful folk at Quatt Village-Hall, though to give ourselves a little more room to spread out we moved next door to the courtyard of Quatt Farm Shop & Cafe, who looked after us beautifully. It was an opportunity at last to perform some of our newest tunes to a live audience, along with some of our older material. </p>
<p>A heartfelt thank you for everyone who came along, along with the Quatties who made it happen, we're very grateful. As someone said on the night…’you can’t beat live music’. </p>
<p>Thanks to Steph, Gill, Carol and Simon for the pics 📸</p>

<p>We wrote Eliza to capture the essence of summers long past. It was written in response to Jean Atkin’s beautiful poem Eliza Remembers Lordshill After Noon, a wonderful evocation of a long ago summer’s day in the Shropshire hills. In this dreamy, wistful piece Jean captures the warm still air, the scent of new mown hay, the hum of bees and the endless summers of childhood. The name Eliza is taken from a gravestone at the lonely Lordshill Chapel, on the flanks of The Stiperstones in South Shropshire, where the poem is set. </p>
<p>The tune first appeared as part of our 2019 Understories tour with Jean, and when the tour ended, that might have been that. But Eliza had wormed her way into our hearts, as some tunes do, and we’ve often played it as a guitar duet just for ourselves. We thought you might like to hear it, so here is Eliza:</p>

A New Release :)<p><a contents="Litha" data-link-label="" data-link-type="track" href="/track/2732115/litha" target="_blank">Litha</a> is the old Celtic name for the solstice which occurs on 21st June. It is a pause, a time of stillness. From this point the Earth will move to a different cycle, with days shortening or lengthening. It is a time for us to take stock, to look back at where we've been, and forward to where we want to be. </p>
<p>We've tried to capture the elusive feeling of fleeting tranquility with our composition, featuring acoustic guitars, with a subtle sprinkle of mandolin, tenor and electric guitar adding to the mix. </p>
<p>The cover art features an ancient yew tree near our studio. It has seen thousands of Lithas in its lifetime! </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Hope you like it!</p>

We got up very early in the morning on a Tuesday at the start of May to catch the dawn chorus and the sunrise over a little woodland at the back of our studio. We wanted to share some of our thoughts on trees and how we have been listening to them in an entirely new way these past few months, and how this is influencing our music and creativity. We hope you enjoy it!</p>

<p>In the past 6 months we've practically lived in the studio and have recorded a lot of new music. And maybe staying in one place and not travelling has brought out our mellow side, as much of this new material has been very reflective and laid back. </p>
<p>We felt that the mellow, chilled out (and only released digitally) side of us was distinct enough to have its own identity, so we've decided that in future we'll release our more meditative material under the name The Bare Bones. This seems quite exciting for us, as we're both suddenly in two bands at once, but more to the point it hopefully will save disappointing anyone who turns up at a future Whalebone gig expecting a relaxation class. </p>
<p>You can listen to and download The Bare Bones <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="Music (listen)" data-link-type="page" href="/music-listen" target="_blank">HERE</a> - just scroll down to <strong>The Bare Bones</strong> section.</p>

Nestling into the south eastern flank of The Long Mynd, just outside Church Stretton and overlooked by the Iron Age hill fort Bodbury Ring, the track along the valley climbs beside a tumbling, babbling brook, and we don’t have to walk far along it to have the hills to ourselves, save for a few wild ponies and sheep. </p>
<p>We tried to capture the feel of a Spring walk in this idyllic setting with our tune which features two nylon string acoustic guitars. Click on the button below to listen and download or follow the Spotify and Apple Music links below to stream and add to your playlists :) </p>

The Weight<p>For obvious reasons we’ve been unable to organise face to face workshops for the past 13 months, so to make up for this, last year a group of our workshop friends got together to record a video as The Covid Chorus. it was such a great experience that we’ve put together a follow up, a take on The Band’s anthemic song The Weight. It’s been great to see everyone pushing their performances to the limit and taking a step or three out of their comfort zones, and the resulting video is something we’re all really proud of.

If we were to look for a plant with a story of hope for today’s world, Rosebay Willowherb would be an immediate contender The wild plant flowers profusely in places that have suffered the ravages of fire and destruction, hence its alternative name Fireweed, and it is seen as a powerful symbol of rejuvenation after bad times. Another name is Bombweed, as it appeared all over the bomb sites of London after the Blitz, becoming synonymous with the city’s revival. With it’s bright spikes of pink flowers, Rosebay Willowherb points to a brighter future, heralding better days ahead, </p>
<p>We’ve tried to capture this feeling of optimism and positivity with a new piece, Willowherb, a warm, uplifting composition that incidentally features the first appearance on one of our recordings of our 1959 vintage Gibson Skylark lap steel. Here’s to the future.</p>

New release today ;)<p>Another musician’s joke… ‘Do you requests?” - ‘Only if we’re asked’. We know, a career in stand up comedy beckons. Not. </p>
<p>Our latest release, <a contents="Hola Weg" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://whalebone-music.com/single/29027/hola-weg" target="_blank">Hola Weg</a>, came about as a result of a request. We had an email from a lady we’ll call Barbara (as that’s actually her name). Barbara is married to Les, and Les had a significant birthday approaching. The email contained a simple question - could we write a tune as a present for Les on the big day? Well, we’ve never done anything like this before but we said we’d see what we could do. </p>
<p>A little while back we’d recorded a few bars of an idea onto a phone voice recorder, and called it Dimpsey, a West Country word for twilight or the quality of the light just before dark. (For an instrumental band we’re pretty fond of words.) We’d been intending to work the fragment of music up into a complete tune at some point, and thought it might work as Les’ tune, so we set to work. </p>
<p>As often happens between the spark of an idea and the finished recording, a note gets changed here, a chord there, phrasing evolves as we rehearse the piece and the final result is a tune that sounds similar but different to the original sketch recorded on the phone. That was the case here, not least due to the addition of low whistle and Shruti Box to the final recording. And Dimpsey didn’t really fit as a title any more. </p>
<p>In the countryside around our studio there are several sunken green lanes, or holloways, which we’ve enjoyed walking many times, and these gave us the inspiration for an alternative title, ’holloway’. And then we discovered that ‘holloway’ comes from the Anglo Saxon Hola Weg (thank you Robert Macfarlane) and we had the final title for the tune dedicated to the birthday boy. </p>
<p>Happy Birthday Les!</p>

<p>Four million ‘thank-you’s! </p>
<p>We’ve reached a significant milestone for us in the past few days when we clocked up our 4 millionth stream on Spotify, and not for the first time we’ve been musing on how a guitar duo recording in a tiny studio in rural South Shropshire has been able to achieve such a thing. </p>
<p>In one sense the answer is obvious; lots of folks all around the world have played our music lots of times. And in these troubling times we take great comfort in that. </p>
<p>There’s been a lot of talk regarding the loss of income faced by musicians, performers and artists of all sorts during the pandemic, and rightly so, but what is less talked about is the loss of opportunity to have your work validated by being seen and heard out in the world. </p>
<p>To put it bluntly, we don’t do it for the money, we do it to make music. As musicians we create in order to entertain, to communicate emotions, to resonate with the listener in some meaningful way and above all to connect, and Covid has deprived up of the chance to do all these things in front of a live audience. </p>
<p>Which is why we’re very grateful to all the listeners on Spotify and other online music websites who have created a different, but just as valid, audience for us. While we wait for the return of face to face music making we’re happy that we’re still able to have our music heard, to hopefully entertain and above all connect. </p>
<p>So to everyone who has been part of our online audience in the past 11 months, a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU from both of us.</p>Whalebonetag:whalebone-music.com,2005:Post/65393482021-02-04T03:11:32-12:002021-02-04T03:11:32-12:00All the Way Home<p><a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="track" href="/track/2550741/all-the-way-home" target="_blank"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392911/fca8270f389d43ae4c3020372cc3f59a202b8ad5/original/char-and-steve-electric-guitars-outside-1.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></a></p>
<p>Though we’ve seen many changes during Whalebone’s decade and a half existence, there’s been a single constant at the heart of what we do - we’re still just two guitarists with a passion for playing guitars. Although we’re known as an acoustic guitar duo, right from day one we’ve enjoyed sneaking an electric guitar or two into the studio, starting with The Devil’s Chair on our first album There to Here way back when. </p>
<p>Our latest album, Totally Plucked, was recorded as something of a love letter to all the guitars we’ve played and performed with, and several of the instruments we used on that first CD found their way into the studio, including the same Les Paul that we used on Devil’s Chair, now a little older and more worn but still singing and oozing tone. </p>
<p>Listening to the recordings, that tone sounds to us like a thread of continuity running back through the years and the the tune it features on was named with this awareness…<a contents=" All The Way Home" data-link-label="" data-link-type="track" href="/track/2550741/all-the-way-home"> All The Way Home</a>.

<p>The Cinderloo Uprising took place at Old Park in the Coalbrookdale Coalfield on 2 February 1821, when the South Shropshire Yeomanry confronted a crowd of 3,000 mostly striking workers who had gathered to protest the continued lowering of their pay. </p>

It’s hard to imagine that anyone’s life hasn’t been turned upside down in the last 9 months, and for us our working lives may well have changed for ever. The fact that we’ve been able to carry on creating is totally down to the huge support we’ve received from everyone who has subscribed, downloaded, streamed and bought our music, and so the main purpose of this, the last blog of 2020, is to say a heartfelt <strong>THANK YOU</strong> to all of you. You will never know how much your support has meant to us in this difficult year. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If variety is the spice of life then we’ve had a very spicy year. We’ve created Shropshire folklore-based videos for the FOLK group of artists, recorded music with our workshop collective The Covid Chorus, written and released some mellow tracks digitally and finally, released Totally Plucked, an album that is a distillation of the last two year’s worth of dreaming, writing, performing… and then not performing. It’s been great to share the fruits of our labours with you. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All that remains is to wish you and yours a fantastic Christmas and a better New Year. And once again, thank you. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">See you in 2021! </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Char and Steve, December 2020</p>

<p>A hundred or more years ago, long before radio, TV and Now That’s What I Call Christmas CDs taught us the ‘correct’ way to sing popular songs and hymns, every region, village or even singer might have their own variant of a popular tune. This is certainly the case with The Virgin Unspotted, a hymn said to have mediaeval origins. </p>
<p>Our melody is based on a version sung to the great collector of folk songs Cecil Sharp by Mr Samson Bates of The Trench, Shropshire on December 19th 1911, when Samson was 76 years old. Unlike many other versions which were collected this melody has an eerie, almost otherworldly atmosphere, perhaps reminding us that as well as being ‘the season to be jolly’ Yuletide is also a time of spirituality, mystery and contemplation.</p>

Totally Pucked is here!<p>Totally Plucked is here! After a year of writing, rehearsing and recording, our first guitar duo album since There to Here is finally on the shelves. We feel the music on it really captures twelve months of influences and experiences, from playing live in 2019 to the dreamy, nature-filled days of early summer this year when the air outside our Brewhouse Studio was filled with birdsong and the gentle hum of bees. Covering a wide range of moods, from nimble fingered traditional tunes to more reflective pieces, the album's 14 tracks showcase steel and nylon string guitars along with mandolin, bouzouki, tenor guitar, bass, shruti box and low whistle. </p>

Available to order :)<p>The Otter’s Holt is a swirling sinuous traditional melody which we released as a single earlier this year, featuring the hypnotic sound of the bouzouki. The tune really captures the otter’s movements in water, and we tried to mirror this with the artwork for the single which we've now turned into a greetings card. Cards are available either singly (£3.50) or in packs of 5 (£10). Just click on the 'Buy' button below and scroll down to the Greetings Card section :)</p>

<p>Spotify didn’t exist when Whalebone first started and the idea of our music being played around the world would have been pretty unbelievable back then. Now our tunes are being played in over 70 countries worldwide… what a mad idea! Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us to reach this milestone :)</p>

At the time our plan was to record a Totally Plucked album to celebrate these and many other instruments that we play, and showcase the tunes we were playing on the tour. Over the last six months we’ve been working on this, to the point where we’re 90% finished and are starting to think about how we release the album. Which gives us a bit of a dilemma. </p>
<p>All of our albums to date have been released physically in CD format. CDs have worked well for us in the past - they sound good and look nice, we can include lots of info in the artwork, they’re small and tough enough to post without worrying and they’re popular with audiences at gigs, including us when we go to see other artists. </p>
<p>The downside of CDs is that we need to order a large quantity from the manufacturer to make them financially viable. Oh, and we don’t have any gigs to sell them at, at least for the foreseeable future. </p>
<p>So we’d like to pick your brain and enquire about your listening habits. Do you still buy CDs? Or do you do all your listening via streaming services? We’re not asking you to commit to ordering the new album (though you can if you want!) but it would be really useful to us to get an idea how folks listen to music, and whether we should think about going down the CD route or just release Totally Plucked digitally. As Hamlet might have put it, ‘to CD or not to CD, that is the question.” </p>

<p>The thoughts and feelings behind <a contents="Hoping for a Miracle" data-link-label="" data-link-type="track" href="/track/2360556/hoping-for-a-miracle" target="_blank">Hoping for a Miracle</a> are certainly hard to express, though we wrote the tune for a very specific reason. A good friend of ours, Sue, has been living with cancer for a year now. Her treatments are keeping her going, but ultimately can’t cure her.</p>
<p>Earlier this year Sue asked us if we could write a tune for all the people living through the same situation that she is. We were honoured to be asked, but not a little daunted. How could we come up with something that would respect both those suffering illness and those close to them? But we said we’d try. Sue gave us the title; Hoping for a miracle, as she remains optimistic and is determined to fight on.</p>
<p>This tune is the result. We’ve no idea if it meets the brief, but Sue likes it, and that’ll do for us. Hope you do too.</p>

It features two Whalebone firsts... Steve uses his Fylde Tenor guitar for the melody, this is the first time the instrument has featured on a recording. The second is we sing on it... well, the choruses, our voices are used more an effect, but they are there. You can listen to it and download here: </p>

<p>From the yard which surrounds our studio we can look across to a field nestled into a wide bend in the Severn. </p>
<p>It was once divided into three; Upper Cow Pasture, Lower Cow Pasture and, where the river floods every Winter, Sydney Meadow. </p>
<p>The dividing hedges have long since gone, the only sign that they were ever there being two majestic oak trees, centuries old, which once formed part of the boundary of Sydney Meadow. On Autumn mornings they would materialise out of the mist like two ghost trees. </p>
<p>And then one day they were gone, felled to ease the passage of the boom arms of the chemical sprayer. </p>
<p>Now there is no mark on the land to show they existed, save for the ghostly images of their canopies, frozen in time in cyberspace on Google Earth.</p>
<p>We hope you like it! Let us know what you think :)</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">As it's not possible for us to travel to Scarborough at the moment, due to Corona Virus, we decided to film ourselves playing Scarborough Fair in a beautiful wood full of bluebells a short walk from our studio. The air was filled with birdsong... but no seagulls sadly. Luckily the weather was beautiful and it was magical being immersed in mother nature.

Just a quick update about you-know-what...<p>At present we've decided, along with our venues and promoters, that it's in the best interests of everyone to postpone our gigs until such time as the current situation improves. In the meantime, we hope everyone stays safe and well. We'll be settling into the studio to record some new music that we'll share with you soon... sort of self isolating! In the meantime, look after one another and see you soon.</p>
<p>Big love, Char and Steve x</p>

When it came to the recording, we thought we'd also record the tunes separately, so we have If I were a Blackbird, The Kilmovee Jig and Lammas Reel as stand alone tracks, then the medley version where we play them as a continuous piece.</div>

<p>We're releasing a new tune on September 18th - The Otter's Holt. 'Holt' is another word for an otter’s den, coming from old words for "wood," "woods," and "wooded hill" (Icelandic "holt" and German "holz" both mean wood).</p>
<p>We perform it on an Irish Bouzouki and Acoustic Guitar with the swirling arpeggios and beautiful melody line evoking the sinuous fluid movements of an otter in the water.</p>
<p>I'll be available on <a class="profileLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/SpotifyUK/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARAU4bm6_lfjbi_MeN7Sp6_hRwVJYPWp-cQt7w57meCezOMxxp7wB0axkd3YzRUCnTRA8bgS27qFGFNq&fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARC16Ds1kv9XIfXBEXBcUCE_WMx0OWQwZWqjS85y11EV4ikIURpyH2os4VGRReyan4GZ3wKbER8xY4tdf6N4KNzIGKINCKJ2sI5rVaoT0D-EW09Zl-dwOJ1FxwudINiiFrzd9JOErcWTgRX9GPMobzax2QEaLKwEXewDQhhC1Tp1-tUS2YnQNB6JSV5WBkiaQlPxTiDIhMLw-uH7tpsod9k7CJczAg4_AvUKFgFUTZT-l0pmuTuqdBB7rhJmQpWwwHgvGEgFjmbQoRPWvRoW8jtQGaRLSTb-EZCSOrljtV72614klb94w8LWEqVMJFUH38BIOFUDuJap93txqpGVlyezvg" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=377716962315255&extragetparams=%7B%22__tn__%22%3A%22%2CdK-R-R%22%2C%22eid%22%3A%22ARAU4bm6_lfjbi_MeN7Sp6_hRwVJYPWp-cQt7w57meCezOMxxp7wB0axkd3YzRUCnTRA8bgS27qFGFNq%22%2C%22fref%22%3A%22mentions%22%7D" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1" data-imported="1">Spotify</a> and <a class="profileLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/applemusic/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARDtnCm4VWdiOHQQ_qAt6XtMjcQMZxR-6iEPuPfS41uwG4DQwvO5BWdu00q6hfnY7a6LOCFvCZeVwgHA&fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARC16Ds1kv9XIfXBEXBcUCE_WMx0OWQwZWqjS85y11EV4ikIURpyH2os4VGRReyan4GZ3wKbER8xY4tdf6N4KNzIGKINCKJ2sI5rVaoT0D-EW09Zl-dwOJ1FxwudINiiFrzd9JOErcWTgRX9GPMobzax2QEaLKwEXewDQhhC1Tp1-tUS2YnQNB6JSV5WBkiaQlPxTiDIhMLw-uH7tpsod9k7CJczAg4_AvUKFgFUTZT-l0pmuTuqdBB7rhJmQpWwwHgvGEgFjmbQoRPWvRoW8jtQGaRLSTb-EZCSOrljtV72614klb94w8LWEqVMJFUH38BIOFUDuJap93txqpGVlyezvg" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=615085188507202&extragetparams=%7B%22__tn__%22%3A%22%2CdK-R-R%22%2C%22eid%22%3A%22ARDtnCm4VWdiOHQQ_qAt6XtMjcQMZxR-6iEPuPfS41uwG4DQwvO5BWdu00q6hfnY7a6LOCFvCZeVwgHA%22%2C%22fref%22%3A%22mentions%22%7D" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1" data-imported="1">Apple Music</a> <span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm">?</span></span></p>

<p>Over the years we've written a lot of tunes, and we mean a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>lot</em>. Some we have released on albums, some have been played live but never recorded, and there are some that have never quite fitted into either gig or CD tunelists for one reason or another and haven't made it out of the rehearsal studio. However, the rise in digital streaming has given us the opportunity to release some of these previously unheard compositions in a digital-only format, and the first of these is a laid back, rather thoughtful guitar duet called 'The Colour of the Sky'.<br><br>It's release date is the 7th of June, and for the time being, it will only be available digitally via streaming and downloads. If you're a Spotify user you can pre-save the tune now and have it automatically sent to your listening device of choice on the release date. As a bonus, you can get to listen to the track before release once you have pre-saved it,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a title="Pre-save Whalebone's new tune on Spotify" href="https://show.co/aXdhFyx" target="_blank" data-imported="1">via this link or click the cover art picture above...</a><br><br>The artwork is based on a photo taken from our friends John and Karen's garden, looking over to the Brown Clee in Shropshire.</p>

Their art is to craft a dynamic, rhythmic, melodic wall of sound and deliver their clever arrangements with virtuosity. Close your eyes and you could believe there are twice as many musicians on stage. Forget big venue celebrity concerts – it is a greater privilege to be able to find live performance this good in an intimate setting.’ Mick – concert organiser.<br><br></p>

<p>'Gabriel in Brook Vessons' is taken from '<a title="Understories - Whalebone & Jean Atkin" href="/understories" target="_blank" data-imported="1" data-link-type="page">Understories</a>' our collaboration with poet and writer Jean Atkin. Combining instrumental music and poetry, this track tells the story of Gabriel and Selina, a couple living in Brook Vessons. Brook Vessons was a 19th century lead miners' squatter village under the Stiperstones, which kept to the tradition of the one-night house.</p>
<p>One-night houses had to be constructed literally overnight, so that at dawn a fire could be lit in the hearth, and smoke rise from the chimney.</p>

<p>Totally Plucked sees Steve and Char loading up the car with a huge array of guitars, mandolins, bouzoukis and a Shruti Box... and bringing them to a village hall near you.</p>
<p>We performed the first Whalebone Totally Plucked con<span class="text_exposed_show">cert at Eaton Constantine village hall at the end of January. Here's what folks said about it:<br>'Whalebone's Totally Plucked set is live performance at its most scintillating. Their art is to craft a dynamic, rhythmic, melodic wall of sound and deliver their clever arrangements with virtuosity. Close your eyes and you could believe there are twice as many musicians on stage. Forget big venue celebrity concerts - it is a greater privilege to be able to find live performance this good in an intimate setting.'<br><strong>Mick - concert organiser</strong></span></p>

<p class="p1">Sarah, our violinist, will be a bit less visible in 2019 while she works to recover from a long-standing injury. The core Whalebone shows this year will therefore be a great opportunity to see Steve and Char in action as a duo, showcasing new arrangements of both brand new material and lots of old favourites. This new venture for the dynamic duo will use the strapline: 'Whalebone - Totally Plucked' to hint at the guitary-ness of the show and also the rather unplanned, unexpected direction they will be taking. It also made the three of us giggle, so that too. </p>
<p class="p1">If you're missing a fix of fiddler, you will be able to catch Sarah at performances of the Flocks of Words collaboration with Kate Innes (details on our Gigs and Tickets page), and we hope she will be back to full strength and as good as new before too long! See you in 2019!</p>

<p>We have booked a number of dates next year at Quatt Village Hall in Shropshire to host our <a title="Whalebone Guitar Workshops" href="/guitar-only-workshops" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.whalebone-music.com/guitar_only_workshops/" data-imported="1" data-link-type="page">Guitar Music Workshops</a>:</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">Sunday 3rd February 2019<br>Sunday 24th March 2019<br>Sunday 19th May 2019<br>Sunday 30th June 2019<br>Sunday 18th August 2019<br>Sunday 29th September 2019<br>Sunday 3rd November 2019<br>Sunday 15th December 2019</div>
<p>These workshops are suitable for guitarists of all levels - previously we've had beginners through to quite accomplished players - and our aim is to show how you can make the most of your existing skills as well as adding new tricks and tips to your repertoire. We'll go into details on the technical side of guitar playing, covering fingerpicking, strumming, improvisational ideas and more. We cover tunes in a variety of styles, touching on folk, blues and the lighter end of rock. The aim is to have a fun but informative day working with each player's capabilities, supporting the beginners and stretching the more able. The cost is<strong> £70 per person</strong>, which includes all course materials and refreshments (tea and biscuits on arrival, a hot meal at lunchtime and refreshments in the afternoon). More info is on our website here: <a title="More info on Whalebone Guitar Workshops" href="/guitar-only-workshops" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.whalebone-music.com/guitar_only_workshops/" data-imported="1" data-link-type="page">Whalebone Workshops</a>.</p>
<p>On the run-up to Christmas, we are offering Workshop Vouchers, so if you are looking to buy the guitarist in your life a pressie, then look no further... Email us back or give Steve a call on 01746 765268 for more info.<br></p>

<p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">Fantastic night at Tansley Village Hall last night! Lovely audience, fantastic organisers, beautiful roses on every table, and learnt (via a beautiful tattoo) about Maria Sibylla Merian - the 17th century botanical and etymological illustrator who documented the nature of metamorphosis. Now loading the car to travel up to Preston Brook Village Hall for tonight’s gig - be great to see you there.<span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm"><br></span></span></p>

The funds will go towards Stretton Pool Actions next initiative – replacing the pool lights with more cost and carbon effective LED ones :) Thanks to everyone who came along and help make it such an enjoyable evening! </p>

<p>For the past eight months we have had the great pleasure of working with poet <a class="profileLink" title="Jean Atkin's website" href="https://jeanatkin.com/2018/05/30/understories-my-new-collaborative-project/" target="_blank" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100002681324672&extragetparams=%7B%22fref%22%3A%22mentions%22%7D" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1" data-imported="1">Jean Atkin</a> on a new music and poetry project: Understories which we are planning to release next year.</p>
<p>One of the pieces from that project, 'Tom Palin at Cinderloo', has this week been published in <a title="Proletarian Poetry Blog" href="https://proletarianpoetry.com/2018/05/29/tom-palin-at-cinderloo-by-jean-atkin/" target="_blank" data-imported="1">Proletarian Poetry</a>, and a video of the piece is now on YouTube.</p>
<p>‘Tom Palin at Cinderloo’ explores the story of a rising by ironworkers in Shropshire in 1821, as they protested against draconian pay cuts. It’s a classic tale of industrial abuse of labour, and it ended in the deaths of several of the strikers with many further injuries to women and children involved in the protest.</p>
<p>We hope you like it.</p>

<p>A VAMPING HORN (on the wall in the bottom left pic)! None of us have ever seen one of these before (understandably, since this is one of only nine in the country). Also known as a ‘Shawm’, the large trumpet shaped horns were used in church during choir services to ‘vamp up’ the singing hence the name Vamping Horn and also used as megaphones for communication at a distance over one mile and for public addresses. Great night playing at South Scarle Community Centre in Lincolnshire on Saturday night, what a beautiful venue!</p>

<p>One of the many perks of rural touring - you get to see amazing unexpected things every time you play. Last night in Tangley Parish Hall we came across some beautiful photos taken by Emil Otto Hoppé one of the most renowned portrait photographers of his day, as well as a brilliant landscape and travel photographer (<a href="http://www.eohoppe.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank" data-ft="{" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eohoppe.com%2F&h=ATM5dwsLjx8Oes28urWTR8XwVaNC4WHC3KvanO-2372M22kjvor0q2uUmAx4DEmpcFcW4H77rpLMFWRY5R6r3Q20oxtV_JeAmMM_ZKBtRFcntL8efomxJFxTMSRxzWc" data-imported="1">www.eohoppe.com</a>) Hoppé lived in the parish and his daughter bequeathed the photos to the Hall in 2006 for the community to cherish and enjoy :)</p>

<p>Some photos of our gig at Grinshill Village Hall last Saturday - thanks very much to Steve Varga for the pics. Also thanks to Angie and Stan who gave us cups of tea and cake before the gig then cooked us soup for the interval after a minor disaster with not remembering to pick up our soup and pack it in the car! We're a very lucky band :)</p>
