Jim Moray brings Upcetera to Liverpool Philharmonic

Multi-award winning folk musician Jim Moray will perform his acclaimed Upcetera album in Liverpool later this month.

The five-star rated offering is set to be showcased at the Philharmonic Hall on Friday, January 27 following Moray’s recent relocation to the city.

For 15 years, Moray has been at the forefront of a new movement in English traditional music.

As well as launching his own Low Culture Podcast, he has also found the time to contribute three new songs to BBC Dr Who spin-off show Class, and can be seen playing guitar in the final episode.

Upcetera heralds a new chapter for the producer and has received the best reviews of his career, including top marks from Mojo, fRoots and R2 magazines.

Accompanied by a nine-piece ensemble including strings, woodwind, piano, double bass and drums, Moray reimagines traditional ballads as dramatically orchestrated torch songs.

Tickets cost £15 and are available from the Philharmonic box office. For more information, call 0151 709 3789 or visit www.liverpoolphil.com.
