Tom Moriarty

Tom picked up a guitar when he was about yay high. (Imagine placing your hand at about waist height.) He developed an affinity with the beautiful stringed box and from that moment on, performed with it throughout his school days and adventures around Europe and California.

Along the journey, a fountain pen and leather-bound notebook was always at his side, scrawling lines and lyrics whenever the moment took him. Inspired by artists like Dylan and Waits he soon developed a natural feel for crafting a song or two.

It wasn’t long before he settled in London. Since then, all the usual joints have lifted their lights on Tom offering up his vocals, rich and smokey like LaMontagne, and his musical tales, often compared with John Martyn.

In 2009, he scored a support slot for The Beautiful South. Then, Ian Grimble, producer to Mumford & Sons and KT Tunstall noticed that there was something special about Tom and in early 2010 they paid a visit to the historic Abbey Road to record ‘Fire In The Doll’s House’.

Nuala Honan

“[Stanton Delaplane] described the following act, Nuala, as having @the biggest voice in the world”, and it was a point well made. The Australian singer possesses one of those voices that seems effortless yet shocking in the power at hand. Over seven songs she confessed to nerves yet took contol with just her vocals and acoustic guitar. I Drive Tonight was the final song, described as “epic and depressing”.” Evening Post, Bristol

“Opening solo, sans Alchemists, Nuala’s performance was surprisingly serious in style and purpose. The singing was gently forceful, her acoustic guitar skillfully wielded and assertive with an edge of poignancy underlying lyrics like ‘This Heart’. She claimed her due attention from the filled room…” Tony Benjamin, Venue Magazine

“This is just one of the finest bands anywhere, Nuala is an exceptional songwriter and has one hell of a voice, backed up by guitar, violin, bass & drums, not a name easily forgotten.” Priddy Folk Festival

“..the charming Nuala herself – all frothy hair, winsome smile and a voice that would smack you round the ear when you least expected it.” fRoots Magazine
