For Tightrope Moon, making music is an intimate alchemy - carefully crafting ‘other worlds’ and sharing them with audiences across the country. Individually, Seth and Cori have performed at leading folk festivals including FolkEast, Sidmouth, Cambridge and Shrewsbury. Now, as Tightrope Moon, their magnetic performances crackle with bewitchment.
Seth and Cori are integral to Peregrine Circus, a home-grown troupe based in North Wales. Alongside drummer Michael Chance, their music sculpts the show, amplifying its wonder, thrill, and beauty - a seamless fusion of sound and spectacle that brings each act to life.
Seth Bye is a composer, fiddle player and educator, recently heard on BBC Radio 2, 3, 4, 6 Music and BBC World Service. He has performed in venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Cecil Sharp House and the Alexander Stadium.
Specialising in traditional music styles, Seth currently tours with his duo Filkin’s Drift, the 14-piece orchestral folk band Filkin’s Ensemble, and doom-pah band The Destroyers. He has also toured with Giffords Circus, performing on fiddle, banjo and accordion.
Seth’s music is inspired by his ever-changing surroundings, as he explores the canals of England on a liveaboard narrowboat. He has recently been featured in The Times, the i and on BBC News, following an 870 mile foot-powered-tour with Filkin’s Drift.
