About Ian Giles

One of the three original members of Magpie Lane along with Andy Turner and Mat Green. Sophie Polhill, Marguerite Hutchinson and Jon Fletcher completing the line-up.

I am also a member of early music group the Oxford Waits along with Tim Healey (founder), Charles Spicer, Caroline Butler and Edward Fitzgibbon, and I had a great time working with Graham Metcalfe and Ian Woods as G.M.W. I am currently working on a new three part vocal group by the name of Vinegar Tom, with Darren Ormandy and Kathryn Nutbeem.

All this and working for the instrument shop The Music Room, as well as performing at Warwick Castle for the Highwayman's Supper evenings,various recording projects, and calling for the Oxford based country dance band Larkrise Ranters keeps me pretty busy, but I've usually got time to get to the Sunday session at the Half Moon in Oxford.

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Oct 29 2009 6:07 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements. The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage. Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens. Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry. And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..? (C) David Franks 2003
Sophia Brumfitt	Aug 28 2009 7:12 PM .. Orpheus Britannicus- A Dance of the Hearts Mercurius Company are presenting a celebration of Purcell's 350th Anniversary, in a fully staged performance of some of his most inspired music, including excerpts from operas and incidental works. With period instruments, costumes and dance. This is a totally independently produced and funded. Let's show all that despite economic uncertainty, financial crisis and turmoil there are people who still dare to dream and produce something exciting and inspiring.
David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Aug 2 2009 4:46 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003
Roger's Rant	Jul 5 2009 7:03 PM We are looking forward to seeing our friends next weekend (10th to 12th July) at Roger's Rant - a Dorset celebration of traditional & contemporary folk music, song and dance. There will be some of the best of local amateur singers and musicians as well as some from further afield. There is also the opportunity for aspiring singers and musicians to have a go in a friendly atmosphere at the Sports Club. The Village Hall will be used for the dance workshops on Saturday & Sunday afternoons, with a Ceilidh on Saturday evening.

Joerg Hesebeck	Apr 17 2008 6:24 AM Hallo Ian, thank you for your friendship! Your music is great! Please visit my HP: www. cultevents. de and sign the guestbook if you like! Music has always been a place where anything is possible - a refuge, a magical world where anyone can go, all kinds of people can come together, and anything can happen. We are limited only by our imagination. I believe that what we do and learn inside the world of music can affect what goes on in the world in a big, positive way. music is so important - like food and water. There are so many possibilities, and many doors yet to be opened.

(C) David Franks 2003 76 of 230, walkaboutsverse. 741. com: LAND RIGHTS If there is a good thing From the Second World War It’s that most peoples learnt To conquer lands no more. In Africa, Asia, And the Pacific, too: Post-war independence - Steps only bigots rue. But for some indigenes, Outnumbered much-too-much, It has all come too late For liberty, as such. So ‘tis in Australia, And America’s sites, Where the best now, I think, Is to respect land rights. (C) David Franks 2003
Maple Mountain	Mar 31 2008 12:35 PM Hi, I have a new song up! It's quite different from my previous stuff, and I hope you like it. The song is called "In early spring" and it's from my upcoming EP#3. Just thought I'd let you know. Take care Emil
Karen	Feb 20 2008 1:53 PM Hi Ian, I was reminiscing recently about the Sunday evening sessions in Oxford in the early 1990s, but couldn't remember the name of the pub. We all sat round in an elongated circle and we used to be given lovely left over roast potatoes etc. What was the pub please?
