In Conversation with Gnoss on 6th May 2023
Join Liz Clark aka Auntie Liz on Sat 6th May at 12pm on Celtic Music Radio when she will be in conversation with Graham Rorie and Crig Baxter about their forthcoming album release ‘Stretching Skyeward’, released on 12th May 2023 and tour which is starting off in Barbados on the 18th May !
Gnoss’ signature sound is a rich tapestry of acoustic layers; outstanding musicianship, deep traditional roots and contemporary compositional flair combine to create songs and tunes brimming with character.
Receiving a coveted Danny Award in 2015, Triple Scots Trad Music Awards nominees, and the band have built an invested following through their forward-thinking take on traditional music and the unique warmth of their live shows. This has been proven through three consecutive sellout appearances at Glasgow’s world-famous Celtic Connections festival.
Their 2019 release, Drawn From Deep Water was met with widespread praise (“a refreshing blast” – RnR) for its exemplary interplay, nakedly emotional playing, and well chosen material. The 11-track album brought Gnoss to entranced audiences across France, Italy and Denmark, not to mention the length and breadth of the UK.
Their follow up album, The Light of The Moon continued to demonstrate Gnoss’ dedication to their craft that places them firmly at the fore of what’s happening in Scottish folk and earned them a nomination for Album of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards. Described as “an invigorating new direction for the Gnoss boys” by Songlines, this album took Gnoss’ online fanbase by storm gaining over one million streams in 2022.
