Ewan's singing and playing covers the broad range folk music has to offer; from traditional ballads sung unaccompanied, to dance tunes or melancholic airs arranged for the guitar, and, as importantly, his own contemporary songwriting that follows firmly in the folk tradition.
Having grown up in Scotland, Scottish songs and tunes naturally form a large part of his repertoire. However, his singing and playing around Yorkshire where he has lived for the last four years, his study of the songs of the working class movement in Britain and America, and his love of Irish traditional singing all ensure that the origins and focus of his songs are varied.
Ewan's accomplished guitar work and unique vocal style convey his passion for the music he sings and writes.
Hi Ewan- great to meet up at Southwell Festival- really impressed by your fantastic singing and playing, love the way you've really gone inside the Csus4/9 tuning, has given me new impetous to explore a little deeper away from first position DADGAD, your tuning has some very convienient to reach higher notes and I see it's advantage in certain areas- all food for thought.
Anyway- hope to bump into you again at some point down the road all the best Si and Rosalind
Great meeting you at Moniaive over the weekend Ewan. Excellent guitar workshop and a grand spot in the Green Tea House. If I don;t get my arse fired as organiser for my many and varied shortcomings I'll get you on the main stage next time.
