Folk Week Presents

Folk Week Presents is a new monthly addition to our music calendar, featuring high quality folk singers and musicians. To be held on Sunday evenings, each month will feature a different performer from the world of folkmusic, from traditional to modern, including English, Celtic and international sounds. Featuring top notch vocalists and performers from across the county and beyond, this series is brought to you directly from Broadstairs Folk Week in conjunction with Broad Reach Records.  Celebrating 60 years in August 2025, all proceeds from our Folk Week Presents shows will benefit the main August festival.

“... blown away by the new album… Fantastic stuff… Brilliant.” (Tim Walker, BBC Lincolnshire)
“An Offshoot of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond. I love it!” (Cerys Mathews, BBC6)

Gabriel Moreno is Gibraltarian singer-songwriter, currently based in London. An irresistibly engaging performer, he combines a latin exuberance and passion with a rare lyrical calibre (he is also an accomplished poet, with 12 books published to date). Performing on nylon string guitar and often accompanied by The Quivering Poets, he creates a live experience that has been described as ”Taberna Folk” - at once both energetic and intimate, anarchic and absorbing.

He has thrilled audiences across South America, the USA and Europe, including recent sets at UK festivals Wilderness, The Great British Folk Festival, Malmesbury Roots and Folk Festival, Costa Folk Festival, Gibraltar Music Festival, ELY folk Festival, Broadstairs Folk Festival, Rochester Sweeps Festival and Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, and has been championed by the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Cerys Matthews, with his sonorous baritone and poetical lyrics often seeing him compared to such luminary wordsmiths as Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and Bill Callahan.

bar opens 4pm. Tickets £17.50 or £15 for Friends of The Horsebridge / Friends of Folk Week.
