David Moss: LightGarden

The core of Bath-based LightGarden is in essence the creative musical partnership of two kindred spirits, David Moss and Masha Kästner, latterly expanded, by the addition of Dave McKeown (of The Joyce Gang) and Rob Colquhoun, to make a four-piece outfit. All four musicians have been active variously on the folk, jazz and rock music scenes for some years. Singer and musician David Moss is the guiding force here, and those with long memories may recall him as one third of the gently iconoclastic and wildly inventive North-Yorkshire-based trio Banoffi for close on a decade from the late ’90s through to 2004."

The unique LightGarden instrumental complement provides an unusually varied and mesmerising sound, balancing David’s fiddle, viola, bouzouki, mandolin and mandola with Masha’s harmonium, piano and organ, Dave’s clarinet and sax and Rob’s acoustic guitars.
