Moore Moss Rutter is a contemporary folk music trio formed in the UK in 2009. Their material is often developed from traditional English folk tunes and pieces of their own that incorporate folk music, 20th-century classical music, jazz and elements of bluegrass. Tom Moore (Norfolk) plays fiddle, Archie Churchill-Moss (Somerset) plays melodeon and Jack Rutter (Yorkshire) plays guitar and sings.
Moore and Churchill-Moss formed a fiddle and melodeon duo at the age of 11 and performed at various venues in 2005/6 (and in 2017 recorded as Tom Moore & Archie Churchill-Moss). It was the festival season of 2008 that saw the trio come together as a whole - partly the doing of Sam Pirt, who had originally united Moore and Churchill-Moss at Cambridge Festival and later introduced them to Rutter at Beverley. The band came together to record a three-track demo CD in autumn 2009 which lead to a multitude of performance opportunities. The recording ultimately got them through to the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Semi-Finals in 2011, which they went on to win overall.
Also in 2011 they recorded their debut album Moore Moss Rutter with acclaimed producer and engineer Andy Bell.
