Tom Moore

Charlie Wheatley has announced “Live at the Chapel”, out 22nd September, the first instalment in a three-part series reworking folk manuscripts from the British Isles through live performance. Recorded live at Stone Nest with two double basses and viola, it holds traditional dance tunes against devotional song, drone and minimalism. The lead single, a set of three tunes, arrives today.

The viola and viol combination on Nick Hart and Tom Moore’s “The Colour of Amber” adds a beautiful richness and depth to the songs and tunes, and the album stands head and shoulders above just about any other English traditional album of the last few years.

With Spectre, Archie Moss and Tom Moore set out to help re-define how British instrumental folk music is made. They have certainly added something that warrants attention.

Jim Moray is on tour from this Friday including dates in Bristol, Birmingham & more. Watch him performing Bold Lovell with Tom Moore, filmed in the historic library room of Ullet Road Unitarian Church in Liverpool.
