Food/Doors/Bar 6.00pm for 8.00pm startGabriel will be accompanied by the Quivering Poets - always amazing, never the same.
"Moreno’s warm voice, embroidered by Ned Cartwright’s deft piano accompaniment, engrosses and soothes. Meditative one moment and despairing the next, these unhurried songs offer spiritual succour and solidarity, a balm for our trying times"
- Morning Star ★★★★★
Sadly Ned Cartwright will not be joining us this time.
“The songs tread a path between Folk, Latin and cabaret torch song. It’s an oddly effective mix which forms the perfect bed for Gabriel Moreno’s distinctive voice -a blend of Leonard Cohen, Peter Sarstedt, and dare I say it, Rex Harrison.”
-(Trevor Raggart, RNR magazine)
“An Offshoot of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond. I love it!” (Cerys Mathews, BBC6)
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 The Quivering Poets, 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 Music’s 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.
Moreno’s 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 6 strings.
Live song with band: “We Can Write England All Over Again.”
