GABRIEL MORENO Moreno’s warm voice, embroidered by Ned Cartwright’s deft piano accompaniment, engrosses and soothes. Meditative one moment and despairing the next, these unhurried songs offer spiritual succour and solidarity, a balm for our trying times - Morning Star ★★★★★ “The songs tread a path between Folk, Latin and cabaret torch song. It’s an oddly effective mix which forms the perfect bed for Gabriel Moreno’s distinctive voice -a blend of Leonard Cohen, Peter Sarstedt, and dare I say it, Rex Harrison.” -(Trevor Raggart, RNR magazine) “An Offshoot of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond. I love it!” (Cerys Mathews, BBC6) Gabriel Moreno is Gibraltarian singer-songwriter, currently based in London. An irresistibly engaging performer, he combines a latin exuberance and passion with a rare lyrical calibre (he is also an accomplished poet, with 12 books published to date). Performing on nylon string guitar and often accompanied by The Quivering Poets, he creates a live experience that has been described as ”Taberna Folk” - at once both energetic and intimate, anarchic and absorbing. He has thrilled audiences across South America, the USA and Europe, including recent sets at UK festivals Wilderness, The Great British Folk Festival, Malmesbury Roots and Folk Festival, Costa Folk Festival, Gibraltar Music Festival, ELY folk Festival, Broadstairs Folk Festival, Rochester Sweeps Festival and Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, and 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. 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 written five albums since 2015 which have been received with acclaim by most Roots publications in the UK scene. 2025 will see the release of his sixth album, ‘Nights in the Belly of Bohemia,’ with an accompanying packed touring schedule across Europe, as well as a thirteenth book of poetry in that time entitled ‘Gibraltar.’ Information Source: Temperance | eventbrite
