Carolyn Hillyer & Nigel Shaw
Bones: Ancient Dance Music Set
NIGEL SHAW and CAROLYN HILLYER are renowned musicians & artists who live and work on a thousand year old farm in the heart of Dartmoor, a mist-veiled landscape of wild hills and moors in the southwest of England. The inspiration for all their work is drawn from the raw beauty, hidden spirit and ancient memory of this deep ancestral land.
Their creative output includes more than thirty music albums, paintings, traditional flute and drum making, published writings, workshops, art installations and festival events. They have also built a large neolithic-style roundhouse at their farm, created from granite, oak and rye grass thatch, and used as a ceremonial ancestor house.
Their recorded albums and live performances form a magical tapestry of ancient instruments, unusual songs and music both wild and tender, using wooden and clay flutes, traditional whistles, recorders, smallpipes, bowed dulcimer, piano, overtone flutes (fujara and koncovka) and many types of hand drums and percussion.

Dora Darling
“Dora Darling has been steeped in song and stories ever since she was a little girl, she dwells in a magical world somewhere between the wildest woods and the depths of the wide blue sea. Her beautiful voice has a depth and resonance that carries the audience to another world. A self taught musician, Dora sings and plays guitar, she also plays the fiddle and Irish whistles, both of which she learned while living in Ireland twenty years ago. Dora writes and composes all her music; her songs are influenced and informed by her love for the Earth and her magic, and English, Irish and many other traditional folk music of the world.”
