The Moonbeams – Songs From The Yorkshire Dales
The Moonbeams are a group of musicians based in Long Preston. They are centred round the duo of Jon Avison on and vocals and Jen Haines on viola. They are joined at various times by Mark Fletcher on percussion and whistles and Ben Avison and Sam Lawrence on mandolin, accordion, banjo and guitar and bass.
Their original songs are inspired by the landscape, wildlife and culture of the Yorkshire Dales. The Moonbeams have released three critically acclaimed albums. ‘Sparrowhawk’s Eye’ 2012, ‘Watching Wildlife’ 2015 and ‘This Land’ 2018. Their songs have been played on BBC radio and are regularly played on various local and web based radio stations. Critics have described their music as being ‘rooted deep in the countryside, willingly tied to the landscape, alert to the changing seasons’ and being ‘timeless, uncluttered and heartening songs of life, love and nature truly reflecting the culture and landscapes of this beautiful part of the country’.
