Timeless and could have existed at any point over the past forty years or so, the passion and conviction make The Flowing entirely of the moment.
Originating from The Medway Towns, the home of Billy Childish. The Flowing perform solo or full band. Performed extensively throughout the south east of england and London. Featured live sets and interviews on local radio.  Participated in charity events such as Oxjam and Music against racism. Played alongside Bellowhead and Cara Dillon at the Sweeps Festival in Rochester April 2010.
The new album... Garden Of England consists of fifteen tracks from the heart and soul of Dave Pickett. It explores his experiences of life and living in the Medway Towns.
The music has been described as a downbeat, sea shanty vibe. World folk, country, reggae.  Reminds you obscurely of The Rogue’s Gallery compilation.

Well known artist Lupen Crook said..”The Flowing are this rustic, torn up dirty little band.  A country blues sorta thing, but very punk, if only in spirit.  The songs are great and they have that heart and soul in what they do type of feel, which I consider essential”.

The album Garden Of England has been produced entirely at home from composing to performing and recording and production.  Tracks 1, 8 and 13 are the product of a  internet collaboration with singer songwriter Agathe Peyrat from Paris, France.

The album launch was at The Barge in Gillingham in the 20th November 2010.  It proved to be a great success, all the CD’s sold out.  The album is available now on CD Baby and available on Itunes and Amazon from 15th December.
The Flowing are.....

David Pickett 		Vocals, guitar, mandolin, uke, trumpet, accordion and keys


Sophie Williams		Vocals

John  Whitaker		Trumpet	 
Agathe Peyrat 		Vocals  on Seaship, Hold on, Victory From Garden of England



Someone once called Chris Austin's songs "nightmare lullabies"...   
Its imagery that sits well with the band, themselves generally dysfunctional and often at odds with the world around them.  
The band comes from the Medway towns and was started in 2011 by Chris Austin and Matt Bell who  earlier in 2012 were joined by Stan Read on drums. 
As the band has found its feet Tape Error has increasingly become about homemade music.  
Tracks appearing on here will be demos until the album comes out probably in the new year on Dancing Turtle.  

Tom started playing Gigs and open mic nights in and around the Medway area, on his own acoustically. He then wanted to check out what his songs would sound like with a band behind him..the band being Jason Stafford on guitar (crybaby special...check it out), Josh Carson on bass and Robin Henderson on drums. There is also plans to add additional instruments such as trumpet, harmonica and who knows what else! 
The band are now playing regularly around Medway and London at some of the many open mic/jam nights, and also have a few gigs lined up around town...with many more to come.



Once a member of Los Salvadores (see this profile for a few tracks from them) - a Kent based folk band taking influences from traditional folk, orchestral styles and beyond. Now a member of The Flowing, a Medway (UK) based band that combines folk, early blues and more contemporary sounds.  Watch this space for more collaborations and solo material.
