About

Jim Moray is an English folk musician, singer, and producer known for his innovative approach to traditional folk music. First gaining notice in the early 2000s for his startling reimagining of traditional songs, blending acoustic instrumentation with electronic production, he has established himself as one of the key figures in the English Folk Revival of the last 25 years. Moray’s arrangements of traditional songs now stand as modern classics of the genre. His treatments of Gilderoy, Horkstow Grange, and Fair Margaret and Sweet William have become reference points for how tradition can be reworked with both imagination and rigour, while his version of the ballad Lord Douglas has established itself as a touchstone for fingerstyle guitarists, studied for its structural clarity as much as for its emotional force. A true polymath, he is known for playing nearly all the instruments on his recordings as well as producing, arranging and mixing. He is also in demand as a producer for both a new generation of forward-looking folk musicians and the older generation of musicians who came before him. Never satisfied with staying still, the artist is still moving after shaking the folk world to its foundations twenty years ago. And in a genre where musicians reach their peak the older they get, there’s a sense that he has only just begun. "I love this singer of old ballads" - Iggy Pop “A landmark artist for our times” - Mojo magazine “The most significant musician since Bob Dylan to decide that the folk idiom is the perfect vehicle for his musical adventures and experiments” - Sydney Morning Herald
