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.

An English Arcanum was released on November 2009. {via: spiralearth}

ABOUT EBC

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
