Littermouth - 'Breathe' Live at the Plough Arts Centre Torrington May 2017
Breathe, the opening track on Littermouth's debut album, performed live at the wonderful Plough Arts Centre in Great Torrington, Devon, England, UK on 6th May 2017. Littermouth were invited to play as part of the Great Torrington Carnival 100 year Centenary.
Breathe is an original track by Littermouth (Words/Music by Price/Shelton © with arrangement by Price/Shelton/Lloyd/Young/Meikle). Jon's lyrics are based on the book Breath by Tim Winton which tells the story of a passionate surfer that one day has a near fatal drowning incident. On surviving he becomes intrigued by the stimulation of that desperate life saving gasp of air and he sets out to explore recreating it in other ways.

Great Torrington (often abbreviated to Torrington, though the villages of Little Torrington and Black Torrington are situated in the same region) is a small market town in the north of Devon, England. Parts of it are sited on high ground with steep drops down to the River Torridge below. The centre of the town therefore commands spectacular views, though lower-lying parts are prone to occasional flooding. Torrington is in the very heart of Tarka Country, a landscape captured by Henry Williamson in his novel Tarka the Otter in 1927. Great Torrington has the most active volunteering community in the United Kingdom.
There were Iron Age and medieval castles and forts in Torrington, located on the Castle Hill. Great Torrington had strategic significance in the English Civil War. In the Battle of Torrington (1646), the Parliamentarians, led by Sir Thomas Fairfax, swept into the town and defeated Lord Hopton's forces. This marked the end of Royalist resistance in the West Country. Today the town is recognised as an important heritage centre for the history of the 17th century, and its people can often be seen dressed in costume for historical re-enactments, festivals and celebrations. An interactive Civil War Experience, Torrington 1646, marks the town's historically important role. The Torrington jail was not big enough for more than one man so the Royalists kept all the Parliamentarian prisoners in the church.
The branch line from Barnstaple to Bideford was extended to Great Torrington in July 1872 by the London and South Western Railway, which built a railway station and locomotive depot in the town. The station was always named 'Torrington', not 'Great Torrington'. Mayfair is an annual folk festival believed to date back to 1554 in which the children of Torrington dance around a maypole set up in the town square. The event takes place on the first Thursday in May. The junior school children elect a May Queen and she is crowned in the town square after a procession with attendants. There is then Maypole dancing after which the children go off to the fair.
Torrington Common is an area of common land which surrounds the town on all but the eastern side. The common is administered by a body called The Commons Conservators. The Common covers 365 acres (148 ha) and has over 20 miles (32 kilometres) of public rights of way. The landscape features a variety of habitats and a rich collection of flora and fauna.
Attractions in Great Torrington include:
Dartington Crystal, Factory, Visitors Centre, Glass Shop and Restaurant of Dartington Crystal – the biggest employer in the town and the only major working glass factory in the UK[10]
Rosemoor Garden, a collection of gardens, woodlands and parkland owned by the Royal Horticultural Society
A Victorian pannier market with a glass roof, restored in the early 2000s
Great Torrington Heritage Museum, located next to the pannier market
St Michael and All Angels, an Anglican church whose grounds include a mound said to contain the remains of 60 Civil War Royalist prisoners
The Plough arts centre, a small theatre, cinema and gallery
Great Torrington also has a selection of pubs selling food and a selection of real ales. These include The Torridge Inn, The Black Horse, Torrington Arms, Cavalier, Globe and Royal Exchange. Torrington has a small brewery called Clearwater Brewery with its Cavalier and 1646 brands.
Torrington is served by 43 local bus services mostly operated by Stagecoach South West, however it should be noted that some only operate one way and a number are weekly only service. More information from Traveline South West. Torrington has no direct train services, Barnstaple (11 miles) is served by the Tarka Line from Exeter St David's. One of the countries prettiest scheduled train routes, providing a beautiful entry to North Devon. National Express operate scheduled coach services from London, the Midlands and elsewhere to North Devon, but there are no direct services to Torrington.

Littermouth - Swindler, Liar, Shagger, Cheat
Swindler, Liar, Shagger, Cheat is about the immoral and shocking lengths to which the tabloid press go in order to sell more papers. The song brings the spotlight on this by focusing on the UK phone hacking scandal and the following Leveson Inquiry but the real message of the song is that it's us the great British public that buy these papers & buy more of them the more scandalous & sensationalist the headlines are.
We didn't want to profit from or highlight/preference any of the victims of the phone hacking so Laurel and Hardy and some other characters represent the victims ...and you can work out the rest!
The music is pure groove laden stomping original Littermouth rock, a style born from blending a multitude of influences from each band member to create their own dynamic fresh new sound.
Littermouth are a British band based in the SW of England. They have been going 2-3 years and have just released a debut CD. They aim to creative hard hitting groovecore driven guitar-based British rock music with an art or cerebral melodic edge to it with quirky riffs and very meaningful words - definitely not the sort of lyrics for love-sick teenagers!

Ninebarrow Band Showreel
THE NINEBARROW BAND TOUR - MARCH 2020
Ninebarrow are a multi-award-winning folk duo, who are impressing audiences across the country with their innovative and captivating take on the folk tradition. Described by Mark Radcliffe as sounding like ‘two halves of one voice’, by Seth Lakeman as ‘a fantastic duo’ and by Kate Rusby as ‘absolutely amazing’, Jon Whitley and Jay LaBouchardiere combine breath taking vocal harmonies and melodies, delivering songs that are inspired and rooted in the landscape and history of the British Isles.
For the first time, the duo will not only be joined by cellist and long-term collaborator, Lee MacKenzie, but also the extraordinary talent of John Parker on double bass and Evan Carson on percussion. With brand new songs and stunningly realised arrangements of some old favourites, The Ninebarrow Band promise something absolutely unique.
Not only exceptional singers and musicians, Ninebarrow are also equally passionate about the stories behind their songs. An evening with the duo isn't just an evening of great music - it's also a night of history, folklore, and storytelling.
The BBC Folk Award nominated duo released their latest album, ‘The Waters and the Wild’ in April 2018 to widespread critical acclaim. It was awarded 5-stars in both The Morning Star and the English Folk Dance & Song Society’s EDS Magazine, and has received airplay on BBC Radios 2, 3, 6 Music, Wales and Scotland. Folk luminary, Mike Harding, has hailed it as ‘absolutely monumental’. It also reached no.2 in the Amazon.co.uk Folk Chart.
These are five concerts that will live long in the memory!
