Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate.

Story behind the song
Memories of a long trip on the Trans Siberian railway - 7 days and nights from Vladivostok to Moscow.
Lyrics
CH 17 The Stately Dance Am The silver birch the iron rails the stately dance A Dm Along the line as through the taiga we advance E The train has seen Am All this before F E Am But for us its something novel to explore And so for us as we arrive at 44 * Look to the future where there still lies so much more Some paths are fixed Some paths are new Thats the way that happy memories accrue Dm Am Sometimes the rainclouds GAm Hang with leaden disdain Dm Am But breaking through those grey shrouds Dmsus4 repeat One golden shaft of sun Brings laughter on E Burning away the rain The silver bark amongst the dark trunks of the pine Read like a true organic bar-code for our time The taiga stretch....es endlessly But maybe we cant see the forest for the trees * we celebrated our 44th anniversary on the train, halfway across Siberia
