Heron Island

Island is an indie-folk project comprised of Chaz Thorogood and Giles Nuttall - two friends and musicians who grow up by the sea in south Devon and have come together to create honest music they love. Built around melodic guitar and raw vocals, it is music for being outdoors, for self-reflection and growth, for travelling and returning home - all recorded off-grid in a houseboat on the River Avon. Chaz and Giles reached Heron Island via two different routes. Chaz has spent the last decade successfully releasing music under his solo project (Chaz Thorogood) whilst also working as a touring session musician. At the same time, Giles moved to the Swiss Alps and forged a path across the mountains in apres ski bands, whilst writing with and recording for up-and-coming artists in Switzerland. All paths lead home and the pair felt the time was right to bring together their years of experience and passion for authentic music, and to create something which truly reflected them. Heron Island is just that.
