Graham Irwin: my music; folk songs - traditional and contemporary

I guess all songs is folk songs. Leastwise, I ain’t never heard no horse sing ’em. Big Bill Broonzy

I am producing booklets with the words, melody lines and chords for some of the songs I have recorded, and some I have not (?yet) recorded. Here is the first: Songbook 1.

I have also developed a simple script to aid transposing chord sequences for songs and tunes. You can try it here.

Graham Irwin: My music

Here is a selection of videos of some of my music (latest additions first). My musical taste is mostly, but not exclusively, British and Irish folk, both traditional and contemporary. I have taken inspiration from Steeleye Span, John Kirkpatrick, Ian Campbell, John Conolly, Shirley Collins, The Albion Band, Fairport Convention, Strawhead, Martin Carthy and many others. I shall be adding a new video each week.

More recently I have been creating music tracks for meditation, relaxation, massage, yoga and therapy, as well as creating electronic pieces. These are included here, too.
