Roy Moller was conceived in Toronto, born in Edinburgh, grew up in Leith and lives in Dunbar. A member of John Peel favourites Meth OD and instrumental outfit The Wow Kafe, whose debut single Who Will Apologise To The Emperor (*utterly ace”- NME) featured his lead guitar, Roy released his first solo single in 2003 and collaborated with guitarist Stevie Jackson on several of the latter’s songs for Belle & Sebastian.
“A week ago I’d never heard of him, now I’m his biggest fan,” enthused BBC 6Music’s Marc Riley, prior to featuring Roy playing sessions in his own right and as a member of Scottish supergroup Jesus, Baby! fronted by Davy Henderson. Roy was also guitarist in psychedelic garage band The Store Keys, backing The Poets’ George Gallacher on his last single..
Accompanied by guitarist Dave Paul (The Postcards/The Letting Go), Roy will perform selections from his solo albums, the latest of which, Songs from Be My Baby ("a gorgeous, involving and very moving work of exquisite and heartfelt songcraft" - Louder than War), explores his discovery of his Canadian heritage and his subsequent adoption. Roy and Dave also draw on tunes by the likes of Gordon Lightfoot, Ronnie Lane and Gene Clark for their Americana-flavoured sets.
