Re-live the stories and songs behind Abi's emotionally engaging debut album 'The Aftermath of '96,' live in concert, for one night only. Abi Moore - 20th Anniversary- The Aftermath of '96

Join Nottingham singer/songwriter Abi Moore live in concert with Ed Mayle for an unforgettable 20th anniversary celebration. Dive into her emotionally engaging debut album 'The Aftermath of '96' to relive the stories and songs that started her journey into original music. “It is no coincidence that the cover of Abi Moore’s debut album is a diary. Inside is an honest and sometimes courageous chronicle of relationships and incidents, most notably the death of her childhood sweetheart in 1996. But there is a freshness, even an optimism about The Aftermath of 96, mirrored in its quiet strength and the very fact that Abi herself has written, played, sung, recorded, mixed and produced pretty much everything here. Her voice is central to its appeal and beautiful throughout, underlined by gently persuasive melodies and excellent arrangements. An impressive and emotionally involving introduction to a bright new talent.” The Lincoln Chronicle wrote the first ever review of singer / songwriter Abi Moore’s debut album 20 years ago. They couldn’t have known that this “bright new talent” would go on to write and release another four albums of visceral, poignant original music, touring internationally for the next two decades. Join Abi, live in concert with Ed Mayle on guitar, to find out how her story began...and perhaps more importantly, how she stayed so true to her path- through recessions, Covid, and the streaming revolution, to celebrate her 25th year in music.

Abi is excited to return to BAAFEST after a full house in 2023! This time, she's bringing Ed Mayle and they play a 50 minute duo show from 8pm. Come join them on the main stage! Tickets at https://baafest.com/#home
