Linda Moylan is an Irish born, London raised folk singer-songwriter with a voice that can spiral from earthy to angelic in an instant and delivers the moving and relatable narratives of her songs with an enchanting Irish troubadour twist. Linda’s second album ‘The Merchant’ (Talking Elephant Records, 2021) was produced by English folk royalty in the form of Phil Beer (Show Of Hands / Albion Band etc) and she also collaborated with the great Julie Felix on her final release ‘Freedom Is A Woman’. Linda’s third full album 2024’s ‘The Fool’ has received plenty of airplay and positive reviews and is a definitive, mature and self-assured piece of work that completes Linda’s transition from gifted singer to fully-fledged and unique musical artist. ‘The Fool’ was included in At The Barrier’s list of best albums of 2024 and Linda was shortlisted for Fatea magazine’s female artist of 2024. Linda will be joined by guitarist Ian Montague “…it really is about time she was reverently spoken about in the same Celtic folk pantheon as Mary Black, Lisa Hannigan and Eleanor McEvoy.” – Mike Davies, Folking.com “…the audience very quickly becomes a group of friends round for a chat, and a passion for her music that flows out in waves. We live the songs with her and it’s very easy to relate them to people and situations we know.” – Tony Birch, Fatea “’The Fool’ is in this case a genius, it is an album of attitude but with the calm persuasion of love woven in between each beat of the heart; and it is beautiful.” – Ian D Hall, Liverpool Sound & Vision Chris Fox: Award winning 21st Century contemporary singer-songwriter Chris Fox is an independent musician spanning the roots lexicon of Folk, Americana, Country and Blues.
