Its not trad but its not folk either, a mix of rip-roaring delicately played instrumental compositions taking inspiration from all over
Europe, together with drones, electronic sound scapes and spectacular vocals. Mossy Nolan's music has its roots in the folk and
traditional realms for sure, but has the scope to reach a wider audience.
It is as a live performer Mossy really shows his true talent, captivating audiences with his older than his years voice and warm charming onstage persona.
