Back of the Moon are one of the most exciting young bands to emerge in the Scottish trad music scene in the last five years.'Best Up and Coming Act' at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2003 and 'Best Celtic Group' at Lorient Inter-Celtic Festival 2003. Since forming in 2000, the band has rapidly gained a reputation for their dynamic live performances at home and abroad. The tightly woven pipes and fiddle, the intimate pairing of whistle and flute, the distinctive rhythmic force of the guitar/piano combo, the awesome three-part vocal harmonies in their Scottish songs - in which each unique singer takes turn at the lead - all contribute to Back of the Moon's giant acoustic sound.

"...thoughtfully passed repertoire, with tune sets both power-packed and reflective...recent recruit Ali Hutton's whistle, pipes and bodhran have brought a real fillip and the quartet have the look and confidence of a band on the way up." The Herald, Back of the Moon at The Arches, Celtic Connections 2005
