Chris Conway's experience in music is unparalleled
Celtic and Indian and many other world musics, folk, jazz, electronic and more.

Multi-instrumentalist
Chris plays piano/keyboards, 9 string guitar, tin & low whistles, kalimba, theremin, bamboo flute, and zither as well as vocals.

He has played and recorded with...
Llewellyn & Juliana, Kevin Kendle, Jackie Newcombe, and The Harps of Avalon. He has played with members of Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention, composer Gavin Bryars, tabla player Talvin Singh, and violin virtuosos Dr L Subramanium. He has released a number of CDs with the Indian World Fusion group Re-Orient. He also plays in Celtic group Govannen and new age group Aramara.

Feel
It is Chris Conway's ability to bring his huge experience of different musics, together with his skills on so many acoustic instruments together with his knowledge of state of the art electronics that makes his music special. He has an very strong feeling for harmony and the effect of that hamony on the emotions that make the feel of a Chris Conway new age album so distinctive.

Chris says of his music - "Whatever music project I do or whatever the focus of an album is, I always make sure every album I make is a REAL album - one you'll get a lot out of LISTENING to as well as, at other times, play for relaxation, yoga, reiki, meditation, spa treatments etc..."

The new album by Mo Coulson & Chris Conway, Spirits of the Mermaids now released on the Paradise Music label.

It features guest appearances by Adele McMahon & Dan Britton from Govannen and Kate Easton & Sam Watts from Red Herrings and cellist Sarah Hickman.
Recording began back in August 2012 and finished in October. Scheduling at the label and time taken on cover art and Christmas caused the delay.

The album balances Mo;'s lovely songs and Chris's atmospheric Celtic ambient music to make a stunning album telling the tale of Melusina the mermaid.

My 2005 solo piano album Sanctuary is being re-released with new cover art by the Paradise Music label with the new title Piano Natural.
Sanctuary was my first album for Paradise Music and I remember is was quite tricky and emotional to make. It was mostly made up of piano pieces I had written over 20 years, many I hadn't revisited for some time. Some needed re-arranging - slowing down or making less jazzy.

It never quite sold as many as I hoped, so I'm happy it's getting another lease of life. I've had some great feedback though. I got an email just last week from someone in the USA who said it inspired them to learn to play the piano. Someone in Vietnam posted a track on Youtube said they heard it on a Chinese and Korean airlines. :-)
