Some of the region’s finest musical talent will be involved in an ambitious new music and film project. Recording has already begun on Operation Lightfoot’s album that will feature guest artists, co-writers and musicians from across the region.

The debut single, Eighteen, features the song’s co-writer Vanessa Murray on lead vocals and will be released in late March. The project was founded by composer/multi-instrumentalist Luke Moore and film maker/musician Rich Geraghty and launched at the highly acclaimed Threshold Festival in March 2013. Since then, momentum has gathered behind the scenes and Operation Lightfoot can already confirm the inclusion of artists such as Silent Cities, Thom Morecroft and Sophia Ben-Yousef.
