   About Ian King
Hello - thanks for listening. I'm a composer and pianist based in Worcester, England.

These tracks are all on my CD 'from Root to Sky'. My wife Claire is a fiddler from Scotland, and the music on the CD is for violin and piano. On 2 tracks we are joined by the singer Colette Todd, former soloist on world tours of 'Riverdance' and 'Lord of the Dance.'

"Lovely music....beautiful melodies....wonderful tone....very atmospheric."
Chris Leslie: fiddler with Fairport Convention & Feast of Fiddles.

"Fab CD. It's full of life and beauty and inventiveness."
Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin: Composer, Pianist, Director of Irish World Academy of Dance and Music.

'Fire Dance' has been played on 'Late Junction' on Radio 3 by Verity Sharp, and on French radio station FIP. Tracks from the CD have also been played by Genevieve Tudor on her 'Sunday Folk' programme on BBC radio Shropshire, Hereford & Worcester and Stoke.

The full titles of the 4 tracks here are:
Fire Dance
Air in D with Old Irish Melody
The Restless Heart with Scarborough Fair
The Wedding

You can listen to samples from ALL the tracks on the CD on my website - use the link below.

There are 14 tracks in total, a hugely varied mix of fast and slow tunes. Some are my own pieces, some are striking arrangements of traditional folk tunes.

You can find out more about me and the CD (and also buy a copy) at: www.iankingmusic.co.uk.

You can also hear 'Air in D with Old Irish Melody' on Youtube with beautiful nature photography by Howard Willson; search for: 'Ian King Air in D Howard Willson.' Hope you enjoy it.

The mire of men untold.
In emerald lands, on Erin's throne,
She killed for all their worth.
