Moore and More
The band got taken to the next level
in August 2015, when guitarist Bernd
Koegler acquired Gary Moore's very
own The Heritage CM150 prototype
guitar that he used during the 1989 /
1990 tours.
Bernd plays it on stage from time to
time now.
This guitar can be seen on the DVD
Live in Montreux 1990.
Since July 2016 Bernd owns another one of Gary
Moore’s guitars: the one that became especially famous
through the reknown Wikipedia photo, the Gibson 1957
Les Paul Goldtop VOS Darkback Reissue, which can be
seen and heard on the AVO Sessions videos from 2008.
Since January 2016 singer and keyboard player Frank Altpeter plays Neil Carter’s Korg M3 and Roland Juno Di synthesizers
including the original soundpatches he used on Gary Moore's last tour in 2010 - as seen on the DVD Live in Montreux 2010.
The band is continuously supported by Neil Carter, original keyboard player, guitarist and singer of the Gary Moore Band
during the rock era in the 1980s and in 2010. This way the band is able to re-create the songs as close to the originals as
possible.
Moore and More authentically mirror Gary Moore's diverse compositions as well as his virtuoso guitar work.
This earned the band appreciation by rock and blues fans.
Their many concerts take place in clubs, halls and open air venues and always find the audience enthusiastic.
Moore and More's extensive repertoire features all of his hits like Still Got The Blues, Walking By Myself, Parisienne
Walkways, Friday On My Mind, Over The Hills And Far Away, as well as numerous others from his 35-year career - but also
less known titles from his time with Colosseum II, Thin Lizzy, the Greg Lake Band and BBM, that surely will electrify
connoisseurs and fans.
The existing rock and blues sets are continuously expanded and varied. So every gig will be a new exciting experience.
This way Moore and More have been able to build up a devoted fan base that follows their gigs.
The members of Moore and More are:
Bernd Koegler (guitars, vocals) - the exceptional guitarist who makes believe Gary Moore is onstage again - if you keep
your eyes closed …
At the same time he is the figurehead of the band: no-one celebrates rock and blues the way he does it - now on Gary's very
own guitars. Read more about Bernd’s guitars here!
Frank Altpeter (vocals, keyboards) - the band's powerful voice, strong or sensitive, always reflecting the song’s mood.
At the same time he provides the diverse arrangements for Gary's rock and blues titles, using the 2010 original sounds and
instruments of Neil Carter. Read more about Frank’s keyboards here!
Oliver Wolke (drums) - played with several bands in the Cologne area over the past 20 years, since 2013 with the reknown
ZZ Top tribute band TexaZZboogie und with Moore and More since autumn 2020.
Jochen Reinsberg (bass) - an experienced bass player in many bands who’s passion is the groove.
Together with Oliver Wolke he delivers an inimitable foundation to Bernd's extraordinary guitar work.

In March 2019 Bernd acquired a third of Gary Moore’s
own guitars: the Gibson Flying V from 2009, that Gary
played on the same tour in 2010, where Neil Carter’s
keyboards come from - mostly for the track Oh Wild One,
as seen here on Sep. 12, 2010 in Odessa and here on
Oct. 24, 2010 in Ekaterinburg
