Ruth Moody in Ireland, Jan-Feb. 2012

Ruth Moody, born in Australia and raised in Canada, was in Ireland in May 2008 with the Wailin’ Jennys (see the BIB for 14 Mar. 2008), of which she is a founder member. She is also former lead singer of the Canadian roots band Scruj MacDuhk (which became the Duhks, and begat the Turtle Duhks, who played at this year's Omagh festival), and she has appeared many times on the radio show 'A Prairie Home Companion'.

Thanks to G Promo PR for the news that she will be in Britain and Ireland for a tour lasting from 13 January to 9 February 2012, fitting in with the release of her solo album The garden and with her taking part in the Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow.
