Gabriel Moreno is Gibraltarian singer-songwriter, currently based in London. An irresistibly engaging performer, he combines a latin exuberance and passion with a rare lyrical calibre (he is also an accomplished poet, with 12 books published to date). Performing on nylon string guitar and accompanied by pianist Ned Cartwright, he creates a live experience that has been described as Taberna Folk - at once both energetic and intimate, anarchic and absorbing.
He has thrilled audiences across South America, the USA and Europe, including recent sets at UK festivals Wilderness, The Great British Folk Festival and Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, and has been championed by the likes of BBC 6 Musics Cerys Matthews, with his sonorous baritone and poetical lyrics often seeing him compared to such luminary wordsmiths as Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and Bill Callahan.
Morenos unique artistic voice lies in the meeting and fusion of different identities. Born and raised in Gibraltar, a British territory bordering southern Spain and just 8 miles from Africa, he has since lived and performed across the world, absorbing influences from music, literature and art everywhere he went. Now considered one of the most compelling and distinctive artists in London's thriving folk and roots scene, he was previously the longtime curator and host of the legendary Lantern Society folk club, and in 2022 was awarded the title of Cultural Ambassador of Gibraltar.
Moreno won the Introducing Stage at the Great British Folk Festival in 2019, and although the Covid-19 pandemic forced a temporary hiatus for many artists, he could never let his creativity stagnate; 2023 sees the release of his 3rd album since the start of the pandemic, Wound in the Night, with an accompanying packed touring schedule across Europe, as well as a second book of poetry in that time entitled Heart Mortally Wounded by Six Strings.
"An offshoot of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond - I love it!" - Cerys Matthews, BBC 6 Music
"Compelling music and poetry" - Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls)
"What sets Moreno apart from his contemporaries [...] is his ever-intriguing use of the English language to address socio-economic issues" Loz Etheridge, God is in the Zine

Come To Tower
Ayse Balkoses provocative voice comes to life with the moody guitar stylings of Ash Gray.
Ayse electrifies her words with an otherworldly attitude compounded with the unique flavor of her Turkish-British voice that has the ability to conjure a fresh emphasis and approach to the language. Ash Gray accompanies on his guitar, intuitively improvising and reacting to the words creating a tour-de-force of collaboration and conversation between orator and musician. The constant ebb and flow makes each show an inspired spectacle that carries a diverse range of moods. The pieces take on the full spectrum , ranging all the way from dreamy landscapes to punkish, rogue battle cries.
Each performer inspires and pushes the other differently each time so that no two performances are alike. This unpredictability creates suspense that is engaging and explosive by carrying the audience through a variety feelings and moods, a complete inspired and improvised journey each night.
