SUMMARY:GNOSS (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION: \nA welcome back to WemsFest\, but to a new venue\, for this multi-talented and award-winning Scots band.  GNOSS combines the talents of Aidan Moodie (guitar/vocals)\, Graham Rorie (fiddle/mandolin/electric tenor guitar)\, Connor Sinclair (flute/whistles/vocals)\, and Craig Baxter (bodhran/percussion) – and they have 3 fabulous albums which exemplify their forward-thinking take on traditional music coupled with the warmth of their live shows. \n‘Album of the Year’ Nominees\, Scots Trad Music Awards 2019 & 2021\n‘Up and Coming Artist of the Year’ Nominees\, Scots Trad Music Awards 2017\nBBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Semi-Finalists 2016\nDanny Kyle Award Winners 2015 \n“Gnoss are one of those rare birds in folk: a group you can name after hearing their first notes.” –  Folk Radio UK \n \nGnoss’ 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. Triple Scots Trad Music Awards nominees\, 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. \n \nTheir 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\nmention the length and breadth of the UK. \nTheir 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. \nWith the release of their third album\, 2023’s ‘Stretching Skyward’\, Gnoss reignite their collaboration with producer and engineer\, Scott Wood (Skerryvore)\, further exploring their acoustic roots whilst incorporating new\, electronic elements. Launch dates included performances across the UK and Europe\, including standout appearances at the Orkney Folk Festival\, Cambridge Folk Festival\, Towersey Festival and Denmark’s Tønder Festival. \n \n  \nDoors open 7.30pm for an 8pm show. \nLicensed Bar helps support WemsFest – As always\, we’ll have our licensed bar serving delicious beers from Langham Brewery  as well as wines\, local cider\, nonalcoholic beers\, and soft drinks.  All profits from bar and ticket sales are reinvested in the local community. \nTickets available now at Bookends and Harbour Records and online here \nIf you require special assistance or have mobility difficulties\, please contact us in advance and we will do our very best to accommodate you so that you are comfortable. \n
