Temple of Shibboleth

About Temple of Shibboleth:

Well known in the South West and throughout the art rock scene, Temple of Shibboleth are a 5-piece sisterhood of musicians.

Their original music blends Canterbury-tinged prog (think Soft Machine), jazz-pop (Steely Dan), lyrical folk (Joni Mitchell) and pure improv: all part of their unique sound. Their show and debut album is a soul-fed ritual for the Home - a humorous, deep and absurdist performance of devotion to Shibboleth, their pony-goddess of Rest.

Billie Bottle - voice, keyboards Viv Goodwin-Darke - voice, flute, recorder Roz Harding - alto sax, recorder, voice Anna Batson - bassoon, voice Jo Meikle - drums and percussion.

Between them, they have played Ronnie Scotts, London Jazz Festival, The Jazz Cafe, King’s Place, Camden People’s Theatre, Teatro Rossini, Vortex Jazz Club and Halle Women in Jazz Festival. They have had their music played on Jazz FM and BBC 6 Music and have played live on air for BBC Radio 3 (Late Junction and In Tune) and BBC Radio 4.
