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 known 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.
Jody 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.
Leaf Hillyer (synths and effects); Legendary synth nerd and fancy dresser bringing deep analogue sounds and crazy bubbles to uplift the sound.
Other possible collective members…
Carolyn Hillyer (vocals); Original Global member and voice of the ancient earth.
Brian Abbott (guitar); Original Global member and star guitarist creating beautiful layers of sound.
Mark Robson (didge and synth); Renowned Kangaroo Moon person, always the best special guest.
Gabrielle O’Connor (vocal); Beautiful ethereal and also powerful earthy voices.
Musical influences range from the far north of Siberia to the heat of the southern deserts via the Celtic rainforests of this green island.
Bring your dancing feral feet!
