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.
Hey guys I've just uploaded some new songs on my myspace...
What do you suggest in terms of production? This is work in progress...it's mostly live with us all playing together and we need to fanny around with it a bit... we would value your expert opinion... before we get around to finishing them...
Bonjour je vous invite dans la nouvelle année en musique. Extrait du concert en première partie de Tri Yann à Auxerrexpo le 5 Décembre dernier. N'hésitez pas à nous laisser vos impressions! Merci et à bientôt. Christo pour Maltavern .. Maltavern Gavotten ar koadour
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.
Thanks for the friendship. I am really looking forward to seeing you all at Old Songs in Voorheesville NY in 2 weeks! Do you mind if people get up and dance? It may be difficult not to. I love what I hear!
