Geza Frank was founding member in 2014 of now renowned international folk band FOURTH MOON.
The line up has changed over the years, but has included and includes stellar names such as Mohsen Amini (concertina), Jean-Christophe Morel (fiddle), David Lombardi (fiddle), Géza Frank (whistles, flute, pipes), Jean Damei (Guitar) and Andrew Waite (piano accordion), who between them have performed globally with their own projects and also with the likes of Riverdance and Carlos Nûnez. Amini from Scotland, originally met the band in Limerick, where Geza and Jean were doing a Masters in traditional music at the World Academy of Irish Music, UL. Lombardi, Italian native, Frank from Austria and Damei from the South of France, with no obviously Irish roots between them are the reason for the whole concept being slightly unusual, Mohsen says, “It’s incredible to hear all the different ideas and ways to express music that everyone has brought to the table, stuff that you just wouldn’t find anywhere else, Lombardi also being from a classical background completely opens us to a whole range of different possibilities that we wouldn’t have even known existed.” Speaking to Damei he mentions that “The whole idea of the band was to bring together a collective, who share a common ground of innovation but who also keep traditional music at the core and so with this we have incorporated a lot of own compositions and adapted them to given them the ‘Fourth Moon’ branding”.
