Ben Moss is a folk singer firmly rooted in the 21st century.
Infusing his songs with social commentary and socialist politics, he weaves powerful narratives through his poetic lyrics, creating a new folk canon for the issues and challenges of the modern day. Raised in the English folk tradition, and an accomplished instrumentalist, he accompanies himself with delicate, sparse arrangements on the fiddle, guitar and melodeon.
Ben Moss is also a renowned dancer, ceilidh musician and caller, teacher, and workshop leader.
He is an award-winning Morris dancer, and has performed with Folk Dance Remixed and Morris Offspring throughout the UK and in the USA and Canada, contributing original choreography for the latter. He has played and called for hundreds of ceilidhs at weddings, parties, and major UK folk festivals. He has led music and dance workshops for groups of all ages and abilities, both in the UK and the USA, notably at Pinewoods Camp in Massachusetts. Throughout his career he has revelled in introducing and furthering the enjoyment of folk music, song, and dance for anyone willing to listen, all with his characteristic blend of humour, charm and an unassuming demeanour.
