About The Kittiwakes

‘Lofoten Calling’ is original music based around the people, landscape, folklore and history of the Lofoten Islands, - an area above the Arctic Circle in Norway. The music is song based, and influenced by traditional British Isles and Norwegian folk music. _______________________________________________________________ 'Absolutely wonderful. I cannot recommend highly enough catching them live if you get the chance' - Folk and Roots Online _______________________________________________________________ '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' - Paul Collier, Leigh Folk Festival _______________________________________________________________ '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 __________________________________________________________________

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Jun 3 2009 6:27 PM (Hi: enjoyed my visit.) After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003
VibeJays & Friends	May 22 2009 2:35 PM Dear The Kittiwakes, Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside... When we share it with friends... something is healing all over... Love can drive... in a simple way... everything We are connected Vibejays & Friends ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimada/o The Kittiwakes, cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro... Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes... El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo... Estamos conectados... Vibejays & Friends

Boff, Chumbawamba "Great song - wish I'd written it!" Tom Robinson WWW. MYSPACE. COM/TWILIGHTFOLKCLUB DROHNE- “In the post-psychedelic London of 1968 an impressionable young Phil Martin encountered the hurdy-gurdy of the first time; yet it was to be 20 years before this life-changing experience would culminate in the finding of a playable instrument. The 70s and 80s were filled with many diverse musical projects; including, playing guitar with Hawkwind's Robert Calvert and new wave pioneers The Record Players, whose music has recently been re-discovered due to inclusion on the Messthetics compilations from US label Hyped to Death. Phil then teamed-up with early woodwind player Geoff Huggins {aka Geoff X, Zappa Purcell etc} in The Explorers Club who played a melange of medieval punk and English morris music, before a chance encounter with Radio Tirane opened the floodgates to European influences. It was while checking-

As a Boston radio station said about our first album......... “This isn't just the best damned drinking album of the year; it's the best damned CD to play before you go out drinking to pump yourself up album of the year” I reckon it also goes for our live show. So come along one day, see if you can drink us under the table and dance us off of the stage! Cheers (p.s. the second album is even better!! with free downloads on Myspace) JD
