Dick Miles
I have been singing at Folk Festivals,Folk Clubs and Maritime Festivals,for thirty two years.My special love is traditional song and the concertina
I have recorded 4 cds,5 lps (vinyl) one of them Cheating The Tide features excellent guitar playing from Martin Carthy.
I also have written two concertina tutors,one on song accompaniment,one book of self penned songs(TheSailorsDream), available from my website. www.dickmiles.com
I was a founder member of The New Mexborough Concertina Quartet (1985 1988),and then worked as a duo with singer songwriter Richard Grainger for three years. Modesty is not my strong suit.
my website www.dickmiles.com has samples of my music, and a shop where you can buy via pay pal.
I also have a presence on youtube dickmilesmusic,where there are more music samples available.
I have a new cd Concertinas and, release date 31 1 2008, (my birthday)which will be available from my website, www.dickmiles.com..
Its been a while and we thought it was about time we updated you on what we've been up to. Our debut EP Little World is now available at our gigs and will soon be available from our myspace and facebook pages, you will also be able to download it from itunes, but we don't have a release date for this as yet.
To celebrate the fact that we have now reached 25,000 plays on myspace, we are giving you a free MP3 of Rockabye Baby. All you have to do is send your email address to queen.elvis@yahoo.ie and we will send it to you.
We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV this week with the full line up. We are currently taking bookings for gigs/concerts/festivals and can be contacted on the email above, or through our myspace and facebook pages.
Thankyou for your continued support in what has been a great year for us!

but of course! It was huge pleasure to hear you play at the weekend - and what a wonderful event it was! I hope that we can all repeat the experience next year...go well, with mirth and music x
