Ortaka and Billie Bottle's Temple of Shibboleth

Ortaka is a UK based band, creating original Alternative/Experimental Rock tunes. "...think Aphex Twin but with some more rock’n’roll influences" - Listen With Monger -

Ortaka's sound mixes genres with little regard for boundaries; absorbing eras, techniques, pop sensibilities, lofi techniques, melody and noise. Making a foray into live performance after several online album releases, Ortaka play a divine blend of alternative/experimental rock originals.

Billie Bottle - Borne out of lockdown necessity, The Temple of Shibboleth started life when Billie Bottle ran away from the circus in 2020, and started caring for a wise woman in Ottery St Mary. Here, she was taught the ancient art of traditional housekeeping, where each day of the week has a particular purpose and function: this became invaluable in navigating our seemingly eternal state of lockdown.

Eventually, this path became a social media group, a pilgrimage in deeper time, a support network, a living piece of music, and now emerging from lockdown, a five-piece band!

The band incorporate a scintillating blend of prog, jazz and pop sensibilities, always with a sense of mythic ritual. The line-up features Viv Goodwin-Darke on flute (The Invisible Opera Company of Tibet/Magic Bus), Roz Harding on alto sax (Mike Westbrook bands), Anna Batson on bassoon (an engaging singer/songwriter in her own right), harmony vocals, guitar, keyboards and drums.

Lo, we invite you to share in the rhythm of the Temple…Tickets will be available from the Bar the Kings Arms (£5) or £6 (£5 + £1 booking fee) online now, via the link below.
