Moray is known for being a bit of a multi-instrumentalist, often handling almost every part of his recordings himself. While he frequently performs solo, his live setup is designed to balance that high-fidelity studio sound with the warmth of acoustic guitars. He has recently been working on a project titled Beflean: An Alternative History 2002-2023, which involved recording sessions at Abbey Road. For those interested in his creative process, his music often touches on themes like ageing, mental health, and the way gender is represented in traditional folklore, all while drawing from his personal interests in Britpop and artists like Radiohead.
The show is taking place in the Komedia Studio, which is located at 44-47 Gardner Street in the North Laine area. It is a fairly accessible spot, just a short walk from Brighton station, and the venue provides lift access and wheelchair-accessible toilets. The seating for this specific event is unreserved, so it is worth keeping that in mind if you prefer a specific spot. The event is open to anyone aged 14 and over, though keep in mind that anyone under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult.
Tickets are currently priced at £18.00 for standing entry, though you might see them listed around £19.80 depending on the booking platform. Since there is a support act scheduled to open the night, it is worth checking the venue's specific timings closer to the date if you want to catch the full lineup.
