An evening with Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou and The Lantern Players.12th – 21st February 2010.Following the release of Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou’s self-titled debut album on Loose Music, the pair will be eschewing the conventional live music circuit in favour of an enchanting tour of village halls, bringing along for company a handpicked selection of the best players from their famous London folk club, The Lantern Society.
Their back to basics jaunt around the southern counties embraces a more rustic approach, advertising via the local post offices, pubs and village notice boards.‘The village hall, pub, post office and shop are the cornerstones of the community, in fact that’s all there is in our village. Our country is blessed with a plethora of beautiful and too often underused village halls, designed and purpose built for close knit communities to gather in and perform to one another.’Establishing their thriving folk club ‘The Lantern Society’ in 2008 and just completing the maiden year of broadcasting ‘The Lantern Society Radio Hour’ a bimonthly online radio show to great success, Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou have become pivotal figures on the London folk and roots scene.
