Folkesong Winter Festival presents Gabriel Moreno
A unique listening event in the glorious acoustically vibrant space of St Eanswythe Church in Folkestone

Gabriel 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 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 and receiving high praise by the underground folk press. His music has been played on BBC6 radio and BBC local stations.

Plus Julian Whitfield performing a solo piano set and local acoustic duo, the Wrynecks (Leo Lyons and Marianne Ancel) with a set of original songs
