- Gabriel Moreno and the Quivering Poets present an exclusive night of poetical alternative folk which will include the premiering of a new unheard Leonard Cohen lyric. This song was written by Leonard Cohen in the 90’s together with Anjani Thomas in Montreal. Painter Robert Montgomery bought the original manuscript from the Thomas estate and commissioned Moreno to put music to it. This will be the UK official unveiling of the track with music by Moreno and lyrics by Cohen and Thomas, a unique treat for all Cohen fans and supporters of the Gibraltarian poet and singer-songwriter.Currently based in London, Gibraltarian songwriter and poet Gabriel Moreno is 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). He has thrilled audiences across South America, the USA and Europe, including recent sets at UK festivals Wilderness, The Great British Folk Festival, Malmesbury Roots and Folk Festival, Costa Folk Festival, Gibraltar Music Festival, ELY folk Festival, Broadstairs Folk Festival, Rochester Sweeps Festival and Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, and has been championed by the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Cerys Matthews.Moreno’s unique artistic voice lies in the meeting and fusion of different identities. Born and raised in Gibraltar, 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. 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.
