Harmonica player and vocalist Howlin’ Whale is not some briny sea captain, creating evocative shanties while enduring long and hard nights at sea. She is however one of the classiest players of the harp you’ll ever likely to come across, and with her instrument evokes the sounds of the wild: bird calls, frogs, insects, waves crashing – and trains. In her latest single, ‘Many Lives’, Howlin’ Whale takes us back to where she grew up, and brings to life the memory of the train echoing through the woods.
