Moore Moss Rutter: Tom Moore, Archie Churchill-Moss and Jack Rutter hail
from three distinct regions of the UK - they combine musical material,
style and tradition from Norfolk, Somerset and Yorkshire respectively.
Since 2009, Moore Moss Rutter have been playing as a trio, meticulously
reworking English tunes and compositions into sets and songs which have
been described as "intelligently crafted musical adventures".
Often praised for musical “maturity and sophistication”, it is
their aim to carefully create soundscapes of mellow and precisely
engineered beauty - as well as wild builds of tension and tempestuous
climaxes. The trio have performed widely, at
venues and events ranging from Glastonbury, to folk clubs and living rooms.
Moore Moss Rutter are winners of the BBC Radio 2
Young Folk Award 2011. Tom Moore has been playing violin since the age of
4, and learnt using the Suzuki Method, an alternative educational
philosophy which primarily focuses on teaching the instrument by ear. He is
now studying Music at Goldsmiths, University of London. In addition to
Moore Moss Rutter, Tom also performs with violinist/viola d’amore player John Dipper and duet concertina
player Nick Hart in Oss; and has done deputy and session playing for a
range of prominent artists including Nick Zinner
(Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Alex
Heffes for BBC films, Robert Mitchell, Bellowhead, Antonio Forcione.
He is also part of new folk-rock band, False Lights, which debuts in summer
2014. Tom plays a violin made by Rod Ward. Archie Churchill-Moss is one of
England’s top melodeon players. Having been tutored by Andy Cutting,
Rob Harbron, Saul Rose and many others, he is
well positioned to carry the baton of virtuosic diatonic accordion
tradition. Archie also performs with Breton/Folk/Rock outfit, Dragonsfly, while also studying Biology at Bristol
University. Archie plays a Castagnari Mory melodeon. Jack Rutter is a respected guitarist and
multi-instrumentalist working within the English tradition. Self taught, he is known for
his for his highly rhythmic tune backing, flatpicking and fingerstyle
playing. In addition to his contribution to Moore Moss Rutter, Jack plays
in the Seth Lakeman Band, and he is in high
demand as a session guitarist for numerous other artists and outfits in the
British folk scene and further afield. Jack has just graduated with a
degree in Countryside Management from Newcastle University. He plays a
custom guitar built by Alister Atkin." -

Ulver: Ulver (Norwegian
for "wolves") are a Norwegian experimental musical collective
founded in 1993, by vocalist Kristoffer Rygg. Their early works, such as Bergtatt,
were categorised as folklore-influenced black
metal but have since evolved a fluid and increasingly eclectic musical
style, blending genres such as rock, electronica, symphonic and chamber
traditions, noise and experimental music into their oeuvre.[1] 1997 marked
their international debut with the release of their third album Nattens madrigal through German label Century Media.
However, following discord with the label, Kristoffer
Rygg formed his own imprint Jester Records in
1998.[2] In 1998, multi-instrumentalist Tore Ylwizaker joined the band marking a drastic change in
direction for Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell -
a double album incorporating elements from drum and bass, progressive rock,
spoken word, industrial music, and black metal, fused into a somewhat
ambient new style. Further exploring trip hop, jazz, ambient music, spoken
word and electronica on 2000’s Perdition City, before moving into a
more experimental, minimalist, ambient direction, and soundtrack work. 2005
marked another change in the band’s sound, returning to standard
instrumentation, combined with orchestral instruments and arrangements.
British composer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel O'Sullivan joined the
collective in 2009,[3] and the band performed some
of their first live concerts in their 15-year lifespan, including the
prestigious Norwegian National Opera. Ulver have
sold in excess of half a million records, have well over 11,000,000 plays
on Last.fm,[4] been twice nominated for the Norwegian Grammy Awards, Spellemannsprisen, in different categories,[5] won
Album of the Year at the Oslo Awards for Shadows of the Sun in 2008,[6] won
the NATT&DAG award for Best Live Act in 2011,[7] and earned a global
reputation for stylistic unpredictability.[8] Acclaim from the artistic
community includes controversial director of films Kids and Gummo, Harmony Korine, recently commented, alluding to
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: "There's a real lineage from a
composer like Wagner to a band like Ulver."
Author and musician Julian Cope has said, "Ulver
are cataloguing the death of our culture two decades before anyone else has
noticed its inevitable demise." -

Old Man Luedecke: "You can hear the
listening on Old Man Luedecke’s new album,
“Domestic Eccentric”. You can hear the cabin in the snowy Nova
Scotia woods where it was recorded. On their third collaboration, you can
hear the beautiful conversation between Old Man Luedecke
and Tim O’Brien, two like-minded artists in love with folk and roots
music, playing at the height of their powers. “You can’t fake a
work of heart,” Luedecke sings in
“The Girl in the Pearl Earring,” the second song on”Domestic Eccentric”, and the assured
confidence of that line, the assertion of a straightforward truth, is the
guiding principle behind the entire album. Old Man Luedecke
is the real thing, a modern-day people’s poet and traveling bard and
balladeer. He’s played around the world to a loving and increasing
fan base, and won two Juno awards in the process. Tim O’Brien is a
multiple grammy-winning roots
multi-instrumentalist whose solo work and collaborations have made him one
of the most respected American players working today. The two last worked
together on Luedecke’s 2012 release,
“Tender is the Night”, which was nominated for a Juno, listed
for the Polaris Prize and won Album of the Year at the East Coast Music
Awards." - Artist's website
Jack Tempchin: " Famed
songwriter Jack Tempchin is known for penning
some of the most durable tunes in American music for a variety of artists
that includes the Eagles, George Jones, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner, Glen Campbell, Emmylou Harris, Trisha Yearwood
and many others. He’s also co-written with a who’s who of
American roots, rock and R&B composers that embraces Tom Waits, J.D. Souther, Bobby Whitlock, Jim Lauderdale and Beth
Nielsen Chapman. Now Tempchin steps into the
spotlight with two new solo releases, the EP Room To Run due on May 5, 2015
and the 11-song album Learning To Dance out on XXXXXXX, from Blue
Élan Records. Both discs span Tempchin’s
breadth as a writer and performer, showcasing his flexible tenor voice
– warm and intimate on the ballad “Living This Love,”
soaring with unbridled joy on “Learning To Dance” and
gracefully reflective in “Room To Run” — plus his
powerful arranging skills and musicianship, which are strengthened by more
than four decades of experience. Despite his storied musical history, Tempchin says, “I’m looking at myself as a
new artist. These are all new songs and I’d like to be accepted based
on them. I don’t believe in living in the past. I have millions of
songs rushing through my head today, and a real passion for recording them
and playing them live.” - Artist's website
Heather Pierson: "At first glance, Heather Pierson appears to be the
girl next door – youthful, friendly, a
little bit shy. However, at the seat of a piano or brandishing an
acoustic guitar, tenor banjo, or melodica, she
transforms into a world-class performer, baring her soul in a manner that
leaves her listeners breathless and aching for more. Heather Pierson is an
award-winning pianist, multi-genre singer/songwriter, arranger, bandleader,
and performer. From New Orleans-style jazz and blues to rousing
Americana and poignant folk narratives, Heather’s live performances
move seamlessly and effortlessly from one style to the next, and a growing
catalog of wildly divergent CD releases reflects her boundless creativity.
Born to a Scottish émigré mother and Navy veteran machinist
father just west of the Ozark Plateau in Joplin, Missouri, Heather began in
life in the single-traffic-light town of Galena, Kansas. Music was
constantly spilling out of the speakers of her parents’ stereo
– a diverse playlist that included The Allman Brothers, Kansas,
Cream, The Beatles, KISS, Cat Stevens, Mario Lanza, Jose Feliciano and Anne
Murray. This diversity served to open Heather’s young
mind to the rich and varied language of music and to lay the foundation for
her future endeavors and experimentations." - Artist's website
Dave Gunning: "There are stories that wash over you like a tide, and
then there are stories that grab you by the heart. Dave Gunning has
made a point of finding the latter and wrapping them up in song since he
broke upon the East Coast music scene in Canada back in 1997. The
Pictou County, Nova Scotia born and bred singer-songwriter and working class
hero has built up from humble beginnings to a point where his name is
regularly included in conversation with artists such as David Francey, James Keelaghan, Ron
Hynes, Stan Rogers, Bruce Cockburn and Gordon Lightfoot. Writing from
a sonic menu that includes flavors of Irish, Scottish, folk and
country musical styles, Dave transcends genre with songs that fill your
senses and touch your soul. Dave’s 10th album No More Pennies is
inarguably his finest collection of songs to date. The record celebrates
the journey and pays tribute to the trials and tribulations, the highs and
lows and the goodness at the heart of people. On No More Pennies, Dave has
proven to be a deft arranger and a songwriting master craftsman with
co-written gems with George Canyon, Jim Dorie, David Francey
(duet), Lennie Gallant, Bruce Guthro, Karine Polwart (duet) and
record producer, Jamie Robinson. The lead signature track, These Hands
co-written with George Canyon is a ‘call to action’ style song
reminiscent of classic Pete Seeger to inspire us to make good in this
world. Dave and his song, These Hands were awarded Song of the Year at the
2013 East Coast Music Awards and picked up nominations for Folk Recording
and Fans Choice Entertainer of the Year." - Artist's website
Sally Timms: " was
born in Leeds, England," says the official Bloodshot Records bio.
"She grew up in the Yorkshire dales, sang in the church choir and
performed in poetry recitals as a child. In 1985 she joined the Mekons as a full-time member and has regretted it ever
since. Unfortunately, the only way out of the Mekons
is in a box, so she's still there." - Artist's website
Rob St. John: "is a writer, artist and
musician from East Lancashire (who) feels like an avatar of an older
tradition. The ‘folk’ tag has become somewhat hollowed out, a
dead signifier; but vestiges of the tradition remain, and remain oddly
powerful in their ability to both evoke the particulars of place and lever
open channels to the past. St John, across a variety of projects –
musical and otherwise – has revealed a keen eye for specificity and
an alchemical descriptive capability; he also appears to be adept in
listening to the clamour and babble erupting from
that open channel and focusing it into some semblance of a coherent
narrative. " - Artist's website
