Trevor Moss and Hannah-Lou

Trevor Moss and Hannah-Lou at Kino

St Leonards based husband and wife duo, Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou, have found time in between opening for Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra to make their welcome return to The Kino-Teatr. They will be performing a very special homecoming show to celebrate the release of their new limited edition 7’’ vinyl, joined by special guest, local alt-folk hero, Oliver Cherer.

It’s been a busy year for the pair. In January they established The Lantern Society at The Printworks in Hastings. Their candlelit acoustic club takes place every first Thursday of the month and has been enjoying large audiences all year, as well as staging a Stade Saturday Special on the Stade Open Space in the Old Town. Trevor Moss records the club and produces and presents the Lantern Society Radio Hour, which is broadcast on Conquest Hospital Radio.

‘It’s been a couple of years since our last album,” says Trevor, “we’ve had a bit of time off the road to bring up our son, who is nearly two now, but it’s been a great opportunity to write new material, and to concentrate our efforts on creating, discovering and doing our bit for music in the town.’

The new single, We Should’ve Gone Dancing, available on limited edition, numbered vinyl only, is a reflective tale of how a relationship can suddenly be derailed, and the futile longing to go back and put it right. The artwork features photographs of St Leonards, two scenes depicted in the song. Released on their own Anglophone Recording Company label, it represents the duo’s comeback, with a new album planned for early next year.

“The last shows we did before having our son were with Jools Holland, so it was a lovely coincidence that he asked us to be his guests again for five shows this autumn,” says Hannah-Lou. “It’s always a bit nervy taking time away in this business, you never know if you’re going to be invited back.”

Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou plus Oliver Cherer. Saturday 25 November, 7.30pm. Kino-Teatr, Norman Rd, St Leonards-on-Sea. £8.

A Better Day: a lovely video from Trevor Moss and Hannah-Lou, who make very good videos to accompany their music.
