Multi award winning UK folk musician Jim Moray is set to play live concerts in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Famed for brining a modern twist to ancient folk songs and stylings, Moray’s musical talent has been recognised with awards from BBC Radio 2 and magazines fRoots and Mojo. Following the release of his first album Sweet England he was referred to as “the future of British folk” by Billboard magazine. Since then he has continued to build his name as writer, performer and producer. The multi-instrumentalist will play alongside local and international performers at the Gala Concert to welcome the 8th UNESCO Congress at 8pm on 19 August at Bao Son Paradise at An Khanh, Hoai Duc, Hanoi. He will also play at an invite-only event for UNESCO delegates at the Grand Plaza at 117 Tran Duy Hung, Hanoi. |
