​Fourth Moon unites four nationalities and four musical backgrounds into one creative force to be reckoned with:

"The result feels fresh and often exhilarating. With a nod towards the pioneering spirit of Lau in showing how traditional musicianship and instruments can be used to produce a truly original sound, Fourth Moon take a mixture of tunes, many of them self penned, and put together sets that play around with styles and tempos and deliver the unexpected."  - Edinburgh TradFest

​"Whilst there are some beautiful slower passages, it's the fast stuff that bring both band and audience fully to life and gets the pulse racing. These are seriously talented musicians who have found in each other a chance to experiment and extend their own musical experiences. Definitely a band I want to see again."
​"Tone and tempo that can call to mind a chamber music group in terms of sound quality and tonal range." - Herald of Scotland

​Fourth Moon were born in 2014 from the meeting between two French musicians (Jean-Christophe Morel on violin and Jean Damei on guitar) an Austrian (Geza Frank - bagpipes and flutes) and a Scotsman (Mohsen Amini - concertina) on the occasion of the Willie Clancy Festival in Miltown Malbay, Ireland.
In 2016 the line up changes introducing David Lombardi from Italy on violin and more recently Andrew Waite from Scotland on accordion. The quartet performed as headliner in numerous international folk festivals such as the Celtic Connections Festival, Edinburgh Trad Fest, Le Son Continu Festival, Kilkenny Trad Fest, Celti'Cimes, the Vienna International Accordion Festival, Shepley Spring Festival and has toured in France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and the UK.
In 2018, the group released their first album, "Ellipsis", which received enthusiastic international reviews.
Their music is almost exclusively original, and is described as imaginative, innovative and virtuosic, spanning the bridge between a traditional Folk group and a chamber music quartet.
