Man in The Moon

Friederike Krum has learned from the best, sang with the best and deployed her extraordinary mezzo-soprano in the service of opera, jazz and classical musicals. On her 2020 album, 'Somebody Loves Me', she explores with her own unique and experienced vocal the timeless music of George and Ira Gershwin, stripped back to just her voice and the piano of Ronnie Scott's artistic director, James Pearson.

A bitter, man-hating widow is raising her two daughters in a depressing and dysfunctional atmosphere. As her mother wallows in her alcoholism and her older sister withdraws into ennui, the younger daughter tries to do well in school and maintain a healthy attitude toward life.

Master songsmith, consummate interpreter, and the renowned voice of Silly Wizard, Andy M. Stewart returns to the spotlight with a stunning new album, Man In The Moon. Featuring Wizard bandmate Phil Cunningham on accordion, keyboards, and whistles, Patrick Street’s Gerry O’Beirne on guitars, and Maire Breatnach of Waterboys fame on fiddle and viola, the album is one of traditional beauty coupled with contemporary artistry. Man In The Moon takes the listener on an emotional journey, from the title track’s compelling connection between the human spirit, the land, and the seasons, to the politically poignant "Listen To the People," to the bizarre and whimsical tale "The Errant Apprentice." Add to these original compositions Andy’s beautiful interpretations of traditional songs: "The Echo Mocks The Corncrake" and "Land O' The Leal." Man In The Moon is yet another masterwork by one of Scotland’s greatest artists.
