TONY MOORE
Tony Moore is a London-based Singer/Songwriter/Performer with an eclectic career in the Music Industry. From being an original member of Iron Maiden, to playing keyboards with iconic 80’s band Cutting Crew (Died In Your Arms), to playing a role in the early careers of many emerging artists including: KT Tunstall, James Morrison, Paolo Nutini, and Ed Sheeran; Tony has been immersed in music on every level.
In 2019 Tony wrote and produced a song called “We Are The Light ” for the closing ceremony of the European Games which he performed live to a packed stadium and an estimated worldwide TV audience in excess of 100 million.
As a writer, he has worked with countless Artists, including contributing to Julian Lennon’s recent album JUDE with a song called “Love Never Dies” on which Tony also plays the haunting piano accompaniment for the record.
During the 2021 lockdown, Tony wrote and recorded an album called AWAKE, which he then turned into a unique one-man show, performing it live in London as a monthly residency from May 2021. Tony describes the show as “A journey to discover, truth, meaning and love in a world gone crazy…”.
AWAKE is a critically acclaimed immersive production that has already entertained thousands of people in London and now Tony has just taken it on a nationwide tour opening for Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) and his band British Lion marking the first time Steve and Tony have shared the same stage since 1977!
Steve Harris said of Tony: “If Tony could play guitar back then the way he does now he’d probably still be in the band (Iron Maiden)”.
In January of 2024 AWAKE opened for British Lion throughout the UK, prior to the AWAKE headline tour in February 2024. In the summer of 2024, AWAKE once again opened for British Lion in Portugal and Spain, prior to touring Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the USA.

ELLY O'KEEFFE
A voice that is as haunting as it is uplifting and that inspires in the same breath as it renders you speechless is a rare and priceless entity. It is also something that Irish singer/songwriter Elly O’Keeffe can be proud to call her own.
Elly first made her mark on the Irish music scene at a very young age, singing in various venues around the country with her family band and giving her future fans the very first taster of her one-of-a-kind vocal stylings. From these early beginnings performing in local venues to her recent move to London where she is actively pursuing her music career, this young artist is ready to bring her remarkable talent to the worldwide stage.
While Elly’s stunning vocal has earned comparisons to legendary chanteuses like Eva Cassidy and Janis Joplin, her voice is immediately distinguishable by her earthy tones and soulful melodies; two particular qualities that make her stand out from the crowd. The raw and untainted nature of her talent is emphasised further by the use of her natural accent during performances. Such honesty and purity is also reflected in this young artist’s addictive personality and effortless charisma, which is evident both on and off stage.
Elly’s folk-based brand of music has developed massively since she first began writing in 2006. Although her debut album ‘When We Live’ gained recognition and acclaim with radio DJs and music lovers in Ireland, her upcoming single ‘Missing You’ promises to showcase her development both as a musician and a skilled, insightful songwriter, who is undoubtedly set to become one of the most recognisable vocal talents of our time.
