George Moorey - music producer
look closer - listen deeper
2025/26
I am spending a lot of time daydreaming a project into being that is built on collaboration with people I meet. I pledge to gently and sensitively mention this in my encounters with new and old friends over the next year or so. I envision writers, lyricists, poets responding to musical sketches I make and singers and musicians being drawn into the recording and production process.
A new collection of songs or an album perhaps?

About
I make music I enjoy listening to. Sometimes I try to do that on my own, but it's always so much better when I involve other people. I love being part of a great team. Some of my oldest and dearest friends are those that share my love of music. That connection makes the music my friends make more powerful and profound to me. So I choose ways of working that strengthen bonds with other people and the things I'm inspired by.
I work from a studio I built in a field in Gloucestershire where I record music and I also compose music in my cellar in my home where I have an old piano and a guitar handy.
THE POWDERED EARTH
My band with my dear friend and songwriting partner Shane Young.
TRACKS
Shane and I wrote 8 songs based on the memories and documents of 8 Gloucester residents born before 1943. The project received an Arts Council England award in 2022 and an album featuring the songs with our favourite musicians was recorded in 2023 with a Kickstarter backed release in 2024.
DC PIERCE - Mindful Systems
In 2022 Dan Pierce and I travelled to Kishore on the North West coast of Scotland where we turned a Victorian Chapel into a makeshift music space and spent a week making an album of songs.
SPACES
A collection of songs made in 8 historic Gloucester buildings.
This project was supported by and received an Arts Council England award in 2017.
This is "Coals", a song that I have written based on the historic character of
the "Gloucester Miser" Jemmy Wood
TIME
This track is one of my favourites. It features cello by my friend Alice White and I wrote and played everything else. The film documents the clock repair activities of another friend Jon Jones.
BIG BLUE SUN
I was once a member with a production / multi-instrumental role in a band called Big Blue Sun.
We championed the songwriting and singing talents of Dan Pierce.
This is from the album we made in 2008.
ROOM 11
I am a partner in a little musical venture based at JOLT in Gloucester with my friend Sam Fryer.
We love messing around with a Tascam 38 tape machine in Room 11 and invite artists to make cassette tape releases with us.
Sam is the engine and brains behind Dub Catalyst an 11 piece dub reggae hip hop band.
They are amazing and you should check them out - click here!.
