This is the first time we've ever posted a piece of music as 'work in progress'. This is a tune we have been working on for the past week. We're thinking of putting it on a new EP that we plan to release in the Spring and it's called 'You & I'. It's the first time we've experimented using an Ebow in the studio, we wanted a dream like sound to match the lullaby like quality of the melody.

You and I Demo

Here's a demo of another tune which might find it's way on to the Spring EP… The title was inspired by watching Jackdaws taking off from a nearby chimney on a blustery day!

Into The Wind

Whalebone Store

Wenlock Hare

Music full of contrasts: folk viewed through a rock lens, classic rock with celtic goggles on, original material full of lyrical lines and infectious driving rhythms. It’s evident from watching Whalebone’s exuberant performances that their music is hugely enjoyable to play as well as to listen to. These are skilled musicians who are in deadly earnest about their craft, but having an enormous amount of fun at the same time.

“..delightfully and defiantly guilty of trespass across musical borders…bold, brave, sly and lots and lots of fun” (Instrumentali Musicali, July 2013)

“..instrumental music of high sophistication…skilled musicians and imaginative arrangers” (Living Tradition, September 2013)

“..can be enjoyed by non folkies who can quite easily pass it off as classic rock and there are enough folk elements to keep the best finger in the ear traditionalist happy too” (Folkall, August 2013)
