Children of the Drone
The group began in 2001 as an improvising acoustic string trio: Simon Egan, Keith Hunter and Matthew Watkins, playing sitar, mandola and saz respectively (with a few percussive bits, Tibetan singing bowls, etc. thrown in). We met through a musical project called Strange Bedfellows organised by Philip Robinson (now an occasional part of the group), which aimed to 'install' unlikely combinations of musicians in unlikely public spaces for a day, and see what happened. As a result of this, our first 'performance' took place sitting on a very comfortable double bed in the bed department of the local Debenhams department store, high above the city of Exeter. Following this, we played together in the local hospital and museum, and ended up being asked to play as a trio in the Exeter Cathedral cha
