Hello! Welcome to the home of Not Made In China! (We're aware the web address doesn't quite match the band name but unfortunately notmadeinchina was gone.)
Unable to think of an adequate description ourselves, heres a description of us that was used for a gig in Bridport;
Not Made in China are Tiff Wheaton-Green and Gavin Blackhall. They blend subtle and haunting vocals with confident and sparse playing that will make the night in the intimate surroundings of the Bridports Legion Hall something special and not to be missed.

The world as viewed by a small fish during a storm in a vast ocean where shipwrecks are in abundance' - of course we couldn't fit that in the little box for the title. The weirdest song we've written...and yes, the violin is supposed to be like that!
'Feel so Angelic' - a mash between two songs; Kirsty MacColl's 'Angel' and Des'ree's 'Feel so High'. This is the live version. We're hoping to work out a mash between The Libertines 'can't stand me now' and Tracey Ullmans 'Breakway' soon...yes you heard me right! it'll sound great!
'Factory Girl/No more shall i work in the factory' - an arrangement of a traditional song. We re-wrote the lyrics and added the bridges and tin whistle solo. This song can also be found on 'Real To Reel'.

Wow. Some really beautiful spaces you have created here. Quite lovely. You have your own original sound with a very few ingredients to achieve it. That's some acheivment for sure. More power to your elbow. Great stuff.
