Telling The Bees
Tuesday, December 8, 2009
Telling The Bees are made up of four local folk scene stalwarts: singer and multi-instrumentalist Andy Letcher, bassist and guitarist Colin Fletcher and string players Jane Griffiths and Josie Webber.
They take their band name from the ancient custom of telling the family beehive of any notable goings-on lest they get upset and fly away and, as you’d expect, they’re in that solid tradition of native folk that has passed from minstrels into the modern age.
Their 'darkly crafted folkedelia' is a worthy extension of the English pastoral tradition, their songs are inspired by nature, folklore, the politics and protest of the ecological movement and possibly most significantly the 'otherworldliness' of the English countryside.
