about

East Whistle - a four-piece acoustic folk-fusion with a special brand of innovative, dynamic music. They toured the world from 1990 - 1995 playing eclectic arrangements of Celtic, Eastern European and Japanese folk music as well as original songs and
improvisations.

The band originated in Kyoto, Japan where Adrian Freedman and Melissa Holding lived in the early 1990’s, immersed in the study and performance of traditional Japanese music.
Adrian and Melissa later joined forces with Hugh Nankivell (guitar) and Joe Townsend (fiddle).

The name of the group, East Whistle, came from a trip that Adrian and Hugh took on the Train Siberian Railway in 1991, crossing China, Mongolia and the USSR with the sound of the train whistle piercing the night as they whiled away the time playing music and songs together.
East Whistle performed in Japan, Europe and America, including Minoya Hall, Osaka, Black Mountain Festival, North Carolina, and Krakow Folk Festival, Poland.

The band made several albums including Three Fishes, Hat But No Shoes and Landlocked. Lotus In The Beehive was their 4th studio album, recorded in London in 1994.

about

Adrian Freedman Devon, UK

Adrian Freedman is a master of the shakuhachi, bamboo Zen flute of Japan. His music is heartfelt and full of subtle dynamics which conjure an atmosphere of rarefied peace, with a deeply healing sense of spaciousness, pristine clarity and delicate beauty. The scope of his music is diverse, including songs was well as instrumental music, but an ineffable sense of the sacred is retained throughout. ... more
