Ed and Will a-walking-o

Bio:

We take long foot bound journies, walking and singing our way about the British Isles, we are discovering our land, her people and traditions........................ ..................... .................. We usually manage about 9 months, although shorter strolls happen too........................ ...................... Our names are Ed and Will, and we have been making these journies together regularly for the past 6 years........................ ............................ ............................ We feel that walking defines us as a species. We are the upright strollers of the great monkey family. The perspectives opened by walking are the keys to our kind...................... For the mind, soul and body, walking is an expansive act – it opens gates into the landscape, turning quick blurry images into smells, aches and wonders. It shows the hedgerows daily bubble toward glory, then fade to cold sleep. It lets you hear the birds, screaming the seasons. It welcomes you direct into the great event of life on these islands........................ .................................... .................................... Our present plan is a winter field album recorded in acoustically beautiful sites in Britain, places where the song fits well with where it is sung. After that its back out for a longer journey up North, somewhere or other, we'll see........................ ............................... ............................... We have an exciting website! ;) WWW.AWALKAROUNDBRITAIN.COM, which tells our stories as we go..................... .............................. ...................... Please have a look-see, and write to say hello. ......................... ........................................ ................................ Our album is available from the website, a selection of three part harmony folk classics. ......................... ............................. .......................... ................ The best of the fruitful season to you all, to each one here. ..................... ................................. ..
