Moody+Davis are a well-established and talented Bristol-based trio comprising voice, fiddle, guitar and recorder, who blend their musical skills in songs and tunes from the British Isles and North America.

Moody+Davis work as a song trio / small dance band, creating a traditional ceilidh atmosphere. Much of their material is local and they can also use their lively musical skills to depict the changing fortunes of life at home and at sea during the time of Nelson.

Helen is known as a dance band fiddler with a lively and positive style; Sue has considerable experience in both traditional song and dance; while Keith is a popular solo blues guitarist. Between them they have many years performing experience, and have featured at events such as the Harbour Festival and Docks Heritage Weekend in Bristol, a weekend celebration at The Gloucester Waterways Museum, and the 2003 Official Nelson Commemoration Committee-run Monmouthshire festivities. They have also appeared at Sidmouth, Priddy, Mangotsfield and many other Festivals nationwide.
