”Moylan has a poet’s knack for putting you in the room with her.” - Folk London
“Cropredy would fall at her feet.” - At The Barrier
Linda Moylan is a singer-songwriter whose music serves as an evocative bridge between her birthplace in Waterford, Ireland and her formative years in the East End of London. Her work offers a raw exploration of the immigrant experience, inhabiting that restless "third space" - the perspective of an observer who belongs to both worlds and neither.
Blending the storytelling traditions of the Irish troubadour with the gritty realism of a pre-gentrified city, Linda’s music occupies a micro-genre she calls ‘Domestica’. Here, the mythic and the mundane are inseparable.
Her current sound is brought to life by her band featuring Ian Montague and Rebecca Mileham, adding a rich, atmospheric layer to her live performances. This musical foundation is built on a history of working with ‘folk royalty’ including Phil Beer, who produced her album The Merchant, and the late Julie Felix, with whom she recorded the duet Freedom is a Woman.
Through her unique lens, she continues to prove that the most profound human truths are often found hidden in the shadows of the domestic and the displaced.
