Special Guest: Nick Hart and Tom Moore
Our special guests this month will be Nick Hart and Tom Moore, an English folk duo whose debut album, The Colour of Amber (2023), has been widely acclaimed for its vivid interpretations of traditional songs and tunes. The album pairs Hart’s tenor viol and distinctive vocals with Moore’s expressive viola, enhanced by drones and bass from an antique church harmonium, creating a sound that is both intimate and timeless. This unusual combination creates a rich set of textures, the result is an absorbing expression of English music by two master players.
Both musicians are highly respected in the folk world. Nick, an award-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist, has been described as “probably the finest interpreter of traditional English folk songs this generation has produced” (Tradfolk). Tom is a violist, fiddle player and guitarist whose playing has been called “ingenious” (The Guardian) and “irresistible” (The Independent). He has performed across the UK and Europe in various ensembles and in recent years contributed as producer or engineer to a stack of albums.
Hart and Moore have worked together in various projects for over a decade. Tom contributed to all three of Nick’s acclaimed solo albums as strings player and engineer, and the duo have remained close collaborators. Originally from mid-Norfolk, Tom recently returned there after 12 years in London, while Nick, raised on the Essex/Cambridgeshire border, now lives in Bristol.
