North Sea Radio Orchestra - born in the alleys and lanes of the City of London, then spreading out across the metropolis, performing shows in churches, concert halls, galleries and festivals, two album releases with glowing reviews and several BBC6 sessions. Now, after a short period of hibernation they return with their 3rd album; ‘I a Moon’.

Written throughout the Autumn and Winter of 2010/2011 by band leader and guitarist Craig Fortnam with a pencil and paper, guitar and piano and recorded ‘at various locations in southern England on his laptop, ‘I A Moon’ retains the unique NSRO line-up of strings, woodwind, percussion, guitars, keyboards and voices but with a darker, less pastoral sound, with synth and percussion taking a more prominent role than on their previous 2 albums. Another departure is a move away from using poetry to the more personal use of self-penned lyrics : ‘I a Moon, orbiting myself. Sometime gravity pulls me close….’.

Wilderthorn (pronounced 'will-der-thorn') is the name given to the artwork and music of singer-songwriter Jon Bilbrough. Jon's music began in the unusual setting of Asia, touring and performing his earliest gigs in Sri-Lanka, Malasia and Singapore and India, finding himself setting foot on the stages of concert halls regularly graced by the likes of Ravi Shankir.
