Viv Goodwin's Album

Zephyr 6

Temple of Shibboleth incorporate a scintillating blend of prog, jazz and pop sensibilities, with a spirit of theatrical mythic ritual. 

With echoes of Gong, Canterbury and Henry Cow plus a pop approach to songwriting, the line-up features Billie Bottle on piano, guitar, bass and vocals (Caravan’s Dave Sinclair & Mike Westbrook bands), Viv Goodwin-Darke on flute and vocals (The Invisible Opera Company of Tibet/Magic Bus), Roz Harding on alto sax (Mike Westbrook bands/SUPERMOOD), Anna Batson on bassoon and vocals (an engaging singer/songwriter in her own right) and much in-demand drummer, Emma Holbrook.

Borne out of lockdown necessity, The Temple of Shibboleth started life when Billie Bottle ran away from the circus in 2020, and started caring for a wise woman in deepest Devon. Here, she was taught the ancient art of traditional housekeeping, where each day of the week has a particular purpose and function: this became invaluable in navigating our seemingly eternal state of lockdown.

In their former incarnation, Billie Bottle & The Multiple, released their first album, Unrecorded Beam, in 2014 and their second, THE OTHER PLACE in 2021. The former was described by Robert Wyatt as “brilliant!".
