Folk Music at The Blue Moon

Alasdair Roberts.

Over 25 years since he first emerged into the public consciousness as the leader of Appendix Out, the didactic folkist Alasdair Roberts continues to enthral with his very particular take on traditional Scottish music. Whether reinterpreting existing material from the repertoire or conjuring up his own original lore his distinctively persistent and crisp voice carries tales of love and death across histories, both actual and perceived, into the here and now.

Ian A. Anderson

Ian A. Anderson began his musical career in the mid 1960s, heavily influenced by old country blues players, before taking a left-swerve in the early ’70s with a trio of psych-folk albums for the pioneering and now highly collectable independent label Village Thing. He eventually settled into a personal and notably English style drawn from traditional folk, blues, old-time and world roots musics, making some dozen albums with projects such as Hot Vultures (with Maggie Holland), the English Country Blues Band and Tiger Moth.
