Moonrakers announce 2023 tour dates

Moonrakers

Greetings. Just emerging from hibernation, still in winter woollies, but lots of news to share with you. It’s been a busy time recording the new album at Woodworm Studios and running workshops while trying to keep the show on the road with a series of 23 gigs so far booked for this year. We’ve said it before, but it’s an uphill struggle to get bookings these days, so we can’t stress enough how grateful we are to our promoters and audiences alike.

So here is the first batch for your diaries. A couple of nice local warm-up gigs, and then we’d particularly love you to come to our Album Launch in Wolvercote, near Oxford, on 27th May. It’s in a spacious church with modern seating and a café. We’ll even bribe you with free chocolates on arrival. We have no shame!
