GLOBAL COLLECTIVE is a new branch of the Global vintage dance music family!
The band Global were formed in 1992 and quickly became a festival favourite with their combination of powerful dance music and live instruments. They performed uplifting sets of shamanic trance techno at Glastonbury Festival, WOMAD and with Cirque Du Soleil. This new project, Global Collective, continues the energy and tradition of Global’s wild trance dance carried into a reimagined acoustic world music mix.
The line up includes:
Nigel Shaw (synths, percussion and flutes); Dartmoor musician, composer and founder member of Global, Nigel is well know for his solo flute concerts and with his work with Carolyn Hillyer. The other side of his work is in electronic music both ambient and rhythmic.
Bethan Lloyd (vocal and lyrics); Welsh artist whose trance inducing vocals expand over an ocean of rave inspired production, harmonic layering and otherworldly ecstasy. Her sonic exploration has taken her from training as a classical singer, immersing herself in Berlin’s experimental music scene, to learning with shamans, masters and the ancient teachings of the natural world.
Isaac Ray (synths and drum machines); master of noise, Isaac’s sonic exploration has been immersed in Berlin’s experimental music scene. An innovator of gritty experimental pop.
Jodie White (drums and percussion); A drummer for thirty years, Jody spent time playing with several different bands in Brighton, and more recently around the Welsh borders where he now lives. With a preference for unique sounds and electronic-influenced beats, he weaves magic and texture into his rhythms.
Ric Hollingbery (violin); A classically trained musician, Ric’s music has ventures into a rich mixture of musical styles. He played violin with Emmy the Great and is now one-third of Folk-Punk band ‘321’, leads the ‘Sorbet Choir’ in Dartington, is studying art in Totnes.
Musical influences range from the far north of Siberian to the heat of the southern deserts via the Celtic rainforests of this green island. Bring your dancing feral feet!
