Released on 9 November, to coincide with the hundredth anniversary of the end of the First World War, <i>Thankful Villages Volume 3</i> is the final instalment of Darren Hayman’s epic study of rural British life. A ‘Thankful Village’ is one where every soldier returned alivefrom the Great War. Darren has visited all 54 of these villages and made a sound recording, painting and film in each one. Thankful Villages doesn’t concern itself exclusively with the War, however. It is an exploration of rural communities, including collected stories, interviews, folk songs, soundscapes, field recordings and new original songs. The record takes the form of a fantastical radio show as Darren unearths lost human stories from hidden rural idylls. Since the dissolution of his first band, Hefner, Darren Hayman’s work has increasingly explored location and history. <i>Thankful Villages Volume 3</i> is the beautiful and poignant culmination of this process; tiny, human vignettes plucked from Britain’s blanket of green.
