Field System presents...Nick Hart and Tom Moore with Boss Morris

Event information

Nick Hart and Tom Moore are an English folk duo whose acclaimed debut album The Colour of Amber (2023) offers vivid interpretations of traditional songs and tunes. Combining Hart’s tenor viol and distinctive vocals with Moore’s expressive viola, alongside drones and bass from an antique church harmonium, they create an intimate yet richly textured sound rooted in tradition.

Both are highly respected figures in the folk world. Nick is an award-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist, described by Tradfolk as “probably the finest interpreter of traditional English folk songs this generation has produced.” Tom is a violist, fiddle player and guitarist whose playing has been praised as “ingenious” (The Guardian) and “irresistible” (The Independent). Long-time collaborators, Hart and Moore have worked together for over a decade, including across all three of Nick’s solo albums, and continue to refine a deeply shared musical language.

Boss Morris always have fun!
