Michael Moast

Mike is a singer/songwriter and a music facilitator, who performs at venues across Bristol. He first discovered the guitar on his 5th birthday, and never looked back!

His love of acoustic music has stayed strong throughout. Mike studied music at the University of West England and has managed young people’s music programmes at Knowle West Media Centre.
