The previous line-up of MoonDance was called Nightwatch. In 1993, 33 Records released a CD awash with Celtic influences, the music ranges from ambient tone poems through rip roaring Irish jigs and reels to a hypnotic re-working of Billy Bragg’s Between the Wars. MoonDance still include a lot of this material in it's repertoire.
Press reviews:
"...what truly sets them apart is a real adventurous spirit ..." Rock ‘n’ Reel.
"Approaching everything they do with vigour and boundless energy, the superb production job on 'Dusk Till Dawn', their latest album, really does them credit and allows the band's instrumental prowess to shine." - Rock 'n' Reel.
"Well... A band where 'eclectic' does not mean it collects tunes from the corners of Europe but that it tips its hat to 1970's jazz fusion, picks up the odd classical reference, drifts into a dream sequence or two but one where the returns to folk tunes still do work." - Martin Kiff - Webfeet.

The Cluster of Nuts Band shared three members of the band with MoonDance (and Nightwatch) and blazed a trail that many subsequent bands (including MoonDance) followed. They produced their one and only long playing record back in 1983, "Fridge in the fast lane" which was released at the beggining of the 'new wave' of English Country dance music. The 'Nuts' were one of the batch of exciting new bands that had finally thrown off the shackles of "Steeleye" and "Fairport" to produce an exciting new sound.
