Back of the Moon was Scottish group that formed in 2000. Back of the Moon rapidly gained a reputation for their dynamic live performances. Gillian Frame, Ali Hutton, Findlay Napier and Hamish Napier made up the band.
The giant acoustic sound came from their tightly woven frontline of Scottish pipes and fiddle, the intimate pairing of low whistle and flute, the distinctive rhythmic force of their guitar and piano rhythm combo, and the three-part vocal harmonies in their Scottish songs – in which each unique singer took the lead.
Back of the Moon released three albums, and were named Best Folk Band at the 2005 Scottish Trad Music Awards.
