Description
Moon Music Orchestra + Tom Mansi And The Icebreakers + Jason Mcniff
MOON MUSIC ORCHESTRA
Strictly operating as a 6 or 7-piece, the extended Moon Music family is many and varied- including sometime collaborators Findlay Brown and Simon Lord (Simian, Black Ghosts) alongside a gaggle of non-musical creatives. Always inclusive, the resounding Moon Music attitude resides somewhere between the summer of love and a good old-fashioned knees-up. Eager to spread the word, last summer saw the band pack up the MMO minibus with friends and instruments and take their show on the road. They defied the rain and mud with a blisteringly upbeat set at the Green Man Festival, took centre stage at the (surprisingly raucous) aftershow party at Moseley Folk Festival and generally blew the cobwebs from folk festivals across the land. This winter has seen a load more London gigs, support slots around the land with Fin and (at last) the band knuckling down to commit their sound to tape. We await the results.
TOM MANSI & THE ICEBREAKERS
originated from 'Fatman Kicks Cat', a funk band fronted by Tom's ex-girlfriend. Working with your ex is tricky at the best of times and it was ultimately what drove Tom to become his own frontman. New songs and a desire to get out and play some gigs resulted in the creation of Tom Mansi and the Icebreakers. Just back from a tour in Germany they stumbled into a promoter at a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion show and landed a gig as the house band for a new club night called 'The Modern Blues Project', touting a new wave of roots music from the likes of Little Barrie, The Black Keys and Seasick Steve.
Support comes from Jason Mcniff
