Critically acclaimed acoustic trio Whalebone are bringing their 2013 tour to Oulton Village Hall on Saturday 8th June.
Whalebone’s Runes tour features high-energy acoustic music alongside haunting atmospheric tunes. The show includes inventive interpretations of traditional music, rock classics and original material from their award winning album ‘Three Fires’ and their forthcoming album ‘Runes’, along with tall tales, folklore and the myths which inspired the music.
“This tour will also feature a very rare baritone eight-string guitar,” says Whalebone frontman Steve Downs. “There are only a handful of these in the world, and it’s possible we’re playing the only one in the UK. The show will include music we’ve written especially to showcase its beautiful and unusual qualities.”
Here’s the video for Justify from the Runes album, featuring the baritone eight-string guitar…

Whalebone put on a brilliant show at Oulton Village Hall on Saturday. Thanks from me to the band and the 60+ people who came to out to support them, and the fund-raising for the hall. Great people, great stories and a fabulous atmosphere. They have promised to come back next year so watch http://www.oultonstone.org.uk for further events.
