The Earthlings

The idea for The Earthlings began when Andy Robinson decided he wanted to make music with (of all things) toys. One day, in a music shop, he discovered the tenor kalimba (also known as mbira), an instrument that looks like a toy but decidedly isn't. Andy was so entranced with the sound he bought one and learned to play it. Some time later he managed to bully his friend, Richard Matthew, into learning a few notes on the alto kalimba. They soon discovered the ethereal beauty the instruments were capable of producing in unison. Eventually, they convinced friend and keyboardist, Bill Birney, to join them, and The Earthlings were born. They are, alas, no longer creating music collectively, but two members still manage to make delightful sounds.
