Welcome to

Seventh Wave Music
Braided River Books
Nigel Shaw & Carolyn Hillyer

We welcome you to this website, to the hearth fire of our ancestor roundhouse and to this place of wild sanctuary on Dartmoor. We live and work in the heart of the southwest moors, amid the high hills, upland streams and misted valleys. Here we create music albums and concerts, books and paintings, traditional flutes and drums, women’s workshops and instrument making weekends, small festivals and gentle gatherings on our ancient farm. Within these pages you can hear audio samples from our music, wander around recent releases and new publications, find out about our concert and workshop programme, explore our library of films or dip into the archives to see past projects. Our music label Seventh Wave Music pages are marked with a spiral, our publishing house Braided River Books pages are marked with a wing.
We hope you will enjoy your visit to this online roundhouse.
