Back of the Moon were a top Scottish folk band with both new and traditional tunes and songs cast in fresh modern sounding arrangements. Formed in 2000, the band rapidly gained a reputation for their dynamic live performances, touring annually throughout the UK, Canada, USA and eight different European Countries. Back of the Moon created their giant acoustic sound through a tightly woven frontline of Scottish border pipes and fiddle, an intimate pairing of low whistle and flute, the distinctive rhythmic force of their guitar/piano rhythm combo, at times augmented by bodhran and Cape Breton Stepdancing, and awesome three-part vocal harmonies in their Scottish songs - in which each unique singer took the lead. 2005 saw them win 'Best Folk Band' at the Scottish Trad Music Awards, having received "Best Up and Coming Act" at the awards back in 2003 and "Best Celtic Group" at Lorient Interceltic Festival 2003.
thanks for the ad! We managed to get 11 to come dowm for the Old Song concert. Hopefully you can stop in next time. We can pour you a fresh pint but the chairs will probably be the same.
Wonderful show last night! I loved every minute...the vocal harmonies, tight instrumentals...the energy was great! Bands like yours help to keep celtic music alive in the US.
