A unique listening event in the glorious acoustically vibrant space of St Eanswythe Chruch 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 .
