Manchester Music for Kosovo

Manchester Aid to Kosovo today announced details of a compilation album titled Ten which is to be released April 4th on Sideways Saloon. Ten features music from Doves, as well as the likes of Elbow and Cherry Ghost among others. The 18 track album is curated by Jo Dudderidge of the excellent The Travelling Band.

Ten is the follow up to the compilation album Cohesion, which was released 10 years ago which featured the Doves track Valley.

No word on a track listing as yet, will post up more details as I have it. The album will be launched with shows at the Manchester Deaf Institute (April 4th) and London’s Union Chapel (April 7th).

Just Like Christmas

As the snow begins to fall here in Chicago. I know you folks back home in the UK have been pounded for awhile. Take care and stay warm! No video, just a cracking Low cover as recorded last year.

Lost Souls Tablatures

With thanks to Nick Yates aka Substance, we have added Lost Souls to the Tablature section of the blog. Nick is currently working his way through Doves catalogue, we previously brought to you the Best Of tabs.

The tabs are designed to be played on a guitar and may not be the exact way doves play the songs, but are Nick’s interpretation of them. We invite you to submit any corrections where necessary.

Doves Guitar Tabs

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to all American readers! Enjoy your turkey and apple pie!

With many thanks to Nick Yates, we now have a Doves guitar tab section. Starting off with The Places Between: The Best Of Doves. We plan on working through each album, this will eventually take the place of the lyrics section.

I have also revamped the the entire discography. It is not meant to be a complete Doves discography. Instead as well as the usual albums/singles entries, I have featured releases that has Doves music not found anywhere else. Suggestions and corrections are most welcome!
