Sonar Presents Live: Tony Moore's AWAKE
From Iron Maiden to Cutting Crew, Tony Moore brings his electrifying concept album, AWAKE to The Tunnels in Frome!
Tony Moore’s musical journey has been anything but ordinary. Originally from Bristol, he set off in the late 70s to join Iron Maiden as their keyboard player in the early days of the band. From there, his career took him through a wide range of musical adventures, always driven by a deep passion for song-writing, performing, and pushing creative boundaries.
In the early 80s, Tony formed Radio Java, a band built around his songwriting, signing to Carrere Records and recording an album at Abbey Road Studios. The single "Fool" became a radio hit in late 1983. In 1986, he joined Cutting Crew as their keyboard player, with their smash hit “(I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight” taking the world by storm. Touring alongside artists like Huey Lewis, Starship, and The Bangles, he experienced first hand the intensity of global success, performing and broadcasting to audiences of millions.
Beyond performing, Tony has played a key role in supporting artists and in 2004, was inducted into the Music Managers Forum for his outstanding contribution to British music.
Most recently, Tony has been touring his one-man show, AWAKE—an immersive audio-visual experience featuring original music with influences from Pink Floyd, Genesis, and David Bowie.
To celebrate Frome Festival's 25th Anniversary, Tony Moore returns to his West Country roots, with an emotive audio-visual concept album, to delight fans of progressive rock.
