Jim Moray

A concert by Jim Moray, a Macclesfield-born musician whose reworkings of traditional English songs date from the early 2000s, at The Live Room@Caroline Social Club in Shipley.

Jim Moray is a British musician from Macclesfield whose work centres on traditional music. The first album, Sweet England, appeared in 2003. Moray sings and reworks older English songs, pairing acoustic instruments with electronic production. Among the traditional pieces reinterpreted are Gilderoy, Horkstow Grange and Fair Margaret and Sweet William, as well as the ballad Lord Douglas, which has drawn the attention of fingerstyle guitarists.

On recordings, Moray plays almost all the instruments and handles production, arrangement and mixing. Moray is also sought after as a producer by folk musicians of both younger and older generations.

This concert takes place at The Live Room@Caroline Social Club, a venue in Shipley that hosts concerts and shows.
