ABOUT CYRIL
Joining Bushwahzee in 2007 is guitarist Cyril Moran Irish born Cyril arrived in Melbourne in the early 90’s and quickly hooked up with the vibrant music scene. Playing with popular band Shillelagh Goat in The Dan O’Connell and the Normandy hotels, he soon got a taste of the folk music scene which blossomed in Melbourne. After Shillelagh Goat, Cyril formed Heartwood with other members of Shillelagh Goat and set about doing folk based and original songs with an emphasis on vocal harmonies. They produced a CD which was well received by The Melbourne Age critic Mike Daly .Cyril also worked with Maria Forde and features on several of her albums. Soon after that Cyril hooked up with well known fiddler Greg Hunt and they made an album called “Songs From The Soft Voice.” In 2000 he decided to go solo, and with the help of Arts Victoria produced his first album “Summer Rain” which consisted mostly of original songs. In 2004 he won the Lawson Patterson songwriting award at Port Fairy for his composition “Freedom’s Song” a story about his journey to Australia mirrored with that of the refugees.
