During the many years of existence, the line-up has changed a couple of times, but the creative close-harmony arrangements of the songs fused with traditional tunes, the high level of energy and the pleasure and enjoyment of playing together has remained the same over the years.

There's hardly a country in Western Europe that doesn't have a healthy number of people involved in Irish traditional music. Still, there are few bands in Scandinavia with Moving Cloud's ability to combine an open-minded approach to the music with a deep respect for the Irish tradition.

Moving Cloud has been an established name on the Irish scene in Scandinavia ever sin-ce, and has played all over Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Northern Germany. Over the years, Moving Cloud has been involved in festivals, concerts, and broadcasts on radio and television.

Moving Cloud has played together with musicians such as box player Tony MacMahon, violin virtuoso Frankie Gavin, and singer Eleanor Shanley. Moving Cloud also often perform together with Irish step-dancers, who provide an extra visual dimension to the performance.
