TOGETHER FOREVER
CELTIC MUSIC RADIO 2023 Album of The Year
The brand new DUETS album is here at last.
The horrible threat of COVID is now greatly subsided. I am right up for gigging again.
TOGETHER FOREVER -
Released Summer 2023
As many of you will know, I design and edit my own website.
The downside of that is that blowing one's own trumpet about a release could sound very narcissistic and certainly biased.
It's true that I would not release an album that I was not absolutely happy with. This one is a real belter. (See? I told you it would sound big headed!!!)
For this crowdfunded release I have more or less laid down the songwriting quill and gathered together a whole batch of amazing songs that have seen me through my 67 years and hopefully beyond.
It's an eclectic collection. Every one of the 33 songs means something very dear to me.
I am thrilled that many of my folk heroes and friends are here duetting with me.
I hope it pleases its buyers / listeners as much as it does me.
Thank you so much to those who contributed to the album's release.
You can hear, buy or download the album right here or various other media.

Honesty Box
These days many listen on SPOTIFY or some other streaming service and no longer buy physical CDs.
The artist makes nothing when their album is streamed.
Normally an album is bought once and lasts a lifetime.
I use SPOTIFY in the car but then I do still buy physical CDs.
A lot of heart, time and money goes into the making of albums.
It would be really appreciated, if you intend listening to my music on a streaming service, if you could make a small contribution via the DONATE button below.
THANK YOU. Ian. xxx
