About The Memory Band

"one of the coolest bands around" NME

"capably captures the joy of collaboration" Pitchfork

"a great modern, folk inspired record" Word magazine

"can't help but evoke distant church spires" Mojo

"a bewitching and brilliant record" DJ

"brims with sinuous, fiddle-driven audacity" Chicago Tribune

The Memory Band was born at the turn of the century and draws upon the disparate talents of a network of musicians all of whom share a predilection for music of an acoustic bent and songs about love and dancing. With rhythms, strings and singing in both harmony and unison.

The first album was released on Hungry Hill in 2004, which is run in conjunction with Spinney Records. Our second album Apron Strings was released on Peacefrog Records in the UK and Dicristina Stairbuilders in North America.

Our latest release is a remix of "Youth" by Soft Cell which appears on the Some Bizarre album Heat:the Remixes. The Guardian described our mix as a chilly, autmunal folk lament... Our cover version of the Lal Waterson song "To Make You Stay" appears on the Migrating Bird collection on Honest Jons

Laura Moody	Jul 6 2009 7:15 AM Dear friends, I am playing a free gig at the beauteous Union Chapel, Islington this Saturday. The sunlight will be streaming through its vaulted windows as Blank Canvas and Arctic Circle present this gig during the blessed daylight hours of 12-2. And yea shall its hallowed interior be filled with all manner of scraping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Let us pray. And then let us go to the pub.

Folkandroots	Jun 15 2009 12:01 PM 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
