Moonrakers

	Jon has performed at festivals, arts centres and clubs in Lincolnshire, Shropshire, Oxfordshire and Durham since the 1980s. He has published songs commissioned by the National Cooperative Movement and childrens songs used in BBC schools publications. In 1995 he won first prize in a songwriting competition organised by BBC-radio and Folkwrite Magazine and was a finalist of the international Songsearch competition in 2000. He has also toured with professional storytellers and was for three years the director of the Oxford Storytelling Festival. He is a regular tutor at the Common Ground Festival in Scotland, and founded Moonrakers in 1998.
	Liz van Santen started learning the violin at the age of seven and was classically trained. For the last few years she has played folk, blues and rock, swapping the classical violin for a much loved five stringed Sonic electric fiddle. Liz has played fiddle in a number of established groups around the Oxfordshire folk circuit for many years. She has also taught and composed music for schools. She is now an Early Years Advisory teacher and, as part of her role, she is able to follow her passion for music and dance encouraging young children into creative thinking and doing around music, art and dance.
	Anna Lockett studied the harp at Colchester School of Music where she gained her degree. Later, she studied with Imogen Barford, Professor of Harp at Trinity School of Music, and obtained her harp teacher licentiate. She is now a freelance harpist. She has worked with orchestras in Oxford and across the Midlands, including the Oxford Symphony Orchestra. Anna is also a music therapist in Oxfordshire and the harp teacher/coach for the Oxfordshire County Youth Orchestra.
	Jo Daley is a relative newcomer to the acoustic music scene. She has enjoyed singing and performing in various choirs, but Moonrakers is her first venture as a soloist. Her smooth light vocal performance is a joy to listen to.
