Folk Bands and Artists
Paul Mosley & Strings
Paul Mosley is an award winning composer/singer/songwriter who loves a concept. Combining charmingly off kilter art-rock sensibilities with hook laden chorusses his hugely enjoyable live shows have taken his ever rotating´ Red Meat Orchestra´ everywhere from Glastonbury to Green Man via Amsterdam brothels and the most remote wilds of Iceland.
His new album ‘The Butcher’ is an epic folk opera, a ghost story 2 years in the making, told over 20 songs by 20+ musicians - friends made on Mosley’s various composing projects including BBC Folk awards winner Josienne Clarke, chart star Jamie ‘Wasn’t Expecting That’ Lawson, Mediaeval Baebe Esther Dee, long time collaborator harpist Tom Moth now of Florence And The Machine and musicians from the bands of Feist, Benjamin Clementine, Madness, Patrick Wolf and Neko Case. A glorious rabble of talented bastards.
For this intimate one off show Paul will be joined by his string trio ‘The Red Meat Cutlets’
