Splatt

About Me

The music of Splatt is inspired by the landscapes of the Malvern Hills and surrounding area. Through the songs of Martin Roy Thorne (see the friends list below), Paul Beadle, William Shakespeare and various traditional ballads they explore the pagan /celtic roots of English and Irish Folk, using traditional ethnic and modern instruments to create an epic soundscape that is truly part of an emerging New Tradition .
