Moses

There are several bands called Moses.

1) Moses are an alternative folk band based around brothers Paul & David Mosley.
Formed in 1998 their debut single 'No-one's home' was playlisted by BBC Radio 2 and the parent album 'The Swimming Zoo' was one of BBC 6musics albums of the year.

Touring everywhere from Glastonbury to the Royal Festival Hall via an Amsterdam Brothel and with everyone from Shane MacGowan to Mistys Big Adventure they gave show stealing performances at festivals aorund Europe. The second album 'Golden Flatts' and mini album 'Django' saw them expand their acoustic guitar and 2 voices sound to incororate more of the cello, horns and mandolins that had become part of their live set.

The 'classic' Moses line up is:

Paul Mosley: singing, piano, melodica, percussion
David Mosley, singing, guitars

David Mosley plays live as a solo act and with his band and Paul Mosley continues to release curious lo fi solo albums with a 'garage orchestra' of guest musicians much loved by BBC 6music.
