Touch the Earth are a Tribal Folk Band who play music and songs inspired by spirit and the natural world around them. our music has been described as: ‘A vibration of pure energy gathers one up, the flutes, violin, guitar, didge, drummers and singers are part of this surrealism – the essence is pure spirit.’ – The Holistic Channel We are unique in their instruments and approach to performance, in addition to the more traditional Guitar, Fiddle and Voice we also use Big Double skinned Drums, Djembe, Didgeridoo’s, flutes and the 5ft Fujara: a Slovakian shepherds flute which creates otherworldly soundscapes. Our concerts are a mixture of songs, ballads and improvised pieces which frequently take the listeners imagination to the wild places of this land. Full Circle was originally released in 2012 and represents a collection of songs that cover whole of the bands history. Including the first song that Lynn Gosney wrote with her son Lee – ‘All Man Together’ as well as chants like ‘Stones and Bones’ and ‘We are her Children’ that were written shortly before the CD was recorded. The CD came to life during the creation of the CD ‘Into the Wild’ when it became clear that we would not be able to fit all the songs that we wanted to onto that CD. The project developed alongside ‘Into the Wild’ and developed in to a collection of old and new songs and gave us a chance to revisit songs that had been recorded and released on CD’s that are now largely unavailable. Good examples of this were the songs ‘All man together’, ‘Healing Drum’ and ‘Marshlands’. We were also able to put an alternate version of ‘Into the Wild ‘ the long didge journey from the CD ‘Into the Wild’ but this time we took the vocal off for those people who prefer not to have a guided meditation. The name ‘Full Circle’ was chosen as on this CD we had come full circle and re-recorded some of the bands earliest songs as well as our latest. It also resonated with our connection with the cycles of nature and at it’s simplest the circle that is the hoop of the drums that give the band it’s unique sound.
