The Vale are an original indie-folk outfit with a classical electro-acousic sound. Formed in 2000 in South London, England with backbone members Paul Carter & brother Noel - and originally strumming under the moniker 'Cutting Creases' - the boys are now based in the Oxfordshire countryside. The Vale have just released their third EP - 'open up sky'. Previous releases received rave reviews and radioplay from Brazil to Bombay.The Vale are currently busy breakin in new bass-meister Dan Miles & putting together the live show for 2006. If you like what you've heard you can pick up a copy of the vale's latest release of 7 tracks for only a fiver (+p&p; of course) though their website. http://www.valemusic.co.uk
