About Chatmusic

Chatmusic is a website, record label and band network dedicated to the promotion of bold and innovative acoustic and mulitcultural music featuring the violin. Chatmusic is run by Kate Hands and Joe Townsend, both violinists and fiddle players who are passionate about performing, teaching and promoting violin music.

The letters CHAT stand for Cat, Horse And Tree, the essential components of the violin. Violins are made from the wood of a tree, and bow hair comes from the tail of a horse. In the beginning violin strings were made from sheep's intestine, which was given the nickname "catgut".
