   About hungry grass
A five-piece who play their own brand of energised Traditional Irish and original music, from fast and furious reels to soulful ballads with a strong emphasis on improvisation and spontaneity.

We've played the London circuit over the years, then met at the top of the South Circular and came together to create the 'goat music' sound we found to be family.

After viewing the world through the bottom of many glasses and bottles, far and near, these five yahoo heads settled to give birth to a wider spectrum - a sort of CD launched the other year at Return to Camden Festival, London and that haunted 'Kinnitty Castle', Co. Offaly, Ireland.

With an ultimate respect to the old music and where the music is going to, we can merely steer it, enjoy it, shape it and add to it . . . for it will . . . out live us all.
It's music not just to suffice the masses, but to fill the glasses, call the shots and make people laugh.

The Kittiwakes - CD Launch - Clerkenwell 22nd June

Leigh-on-Sea 3-piece,
The Kittiwakes, celebrate the release of their Midwich Records debut, ‘Lofoten Calling’, a collection of original folk songs written about the people, landscape, folklore and history of the Lofoten Islands above the Arctic Circle and influenced by the traditional music of Norway and the British Isles.

'The Kittiwakes craft timeless and magical acoustically dappled folk treats - gentle and alluring ostensibly Gaelic in sound texture and gorgeously flighty braided as they are by corteges of mandolins, accordions and violins.' [LOSING TODAY]

'The Kittiwakes (rissa tridactyla): delicious, intriguing and evocative music, beautifully played and sung by this talented trio. Recommended to twitchers and lovers of folk music alike' [LEIGH FOLK FESTIVAL]


See http://www.electroacousticclub.com for details of the venue etc

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.
