MOFF SKELLINGTON

Moff Skellington has a new album out on Salford's greatest local asset; German Shepherd Records. Moff has released over 30 albums to date, this one being 'Golfer In Disgrace' and is as eloquent and funny as ever.

Moff released his first 5 albums with Invisiblegirl Records and Music Publishing in 2009. His style of music is called Eddodi. He says "In Edoddi there are no rules except those of ones own making; it is a free musical expression of one's mind and one's experience of life. In Abstercot they believe reality to be the product of interaction between three powerful elements: Octoberness, Perfection and Slapstick" ..and is probably key to his originality.

Stephen Doyle, alternative Salford City Radio DJ often features Moff Skellington on his radio shows. Here's Sonic Diary from March 2017 including 4 tracks from Moff's new album.
