Phillip Moffet

Phil Moffet is a sonic wizard, a true innovator of the guitar as an instrument. Using both hands simultaneously to create a bassline, melody, harmonics and percussive rhythmic embellishments on the guitar body. He studied contemporary music at SAMI (South African Music Institute) and Classical at Rhodes University. He has been performing LIVE for 16 years including being the support act for Dan Patlansky, Ard Matthews, Tidal Waves and Majozi. He is fascinated with how limitless the acoustic guitar is, in terms of reinventing the application of the instrument. “You can produce so many different sounds by treating the guitar as if it were not a guitar.” He is focused on studying and composing further and integrating his discoveries into collaborative projects.

Carol Whitworth

Born to Chinese/Jamaican and English parents, Carol spent her formative years growing up in the countryside near Shotover in Oxfordshire. An accomplished singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, her early influences include Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Bert Jansch, John Martyn, and The Beatles, with inspiration drawn from the surrounding countryside and the nearby Shotover estate.

Dave Male
