The Knitting

The Knitting is the brainchild of Gilbert Linley (aka 'Gilbert'), a London-born drummer/keyboard player who studied classical music and composition at Oxford University before writing soundtracks for film and television for some years. A debut album completed in 2007 under the moniker 'Gilbert' received excellent reviews and extensive national radio play, gaining a digital release soon after on the Indie label, Shifty Disco Records. The music was subsequently performed live by 4/5 people (playing an array of drums/percussion, bass, organs, violins, horns, singing and spoken word) extensively throughout the UK including notable sets at the 2007 Green Man Festival, 2008 Loop Festival, and 2009 Udderbelly. In 2010 a new album - 'Wahoola!' - was finished and the decision was made to release it under a new name due to the profusion/confusion of other music artists sharing the name 'Gilbert'...
