Ewan McLennan
Ewan McLennan has, in a short space of time, come to be known as a guitarist at the forefront of his generation; a troubadour, balladeer and storyteller cut in the old style; a singer that can move audiences with his passion and pathos; and a songwriter for whom social justice is still a burning issue.
By the time he began playing the folk and acoustic music clubs around Britain in 2010 he’d already been playing music for years – guitar and piano and all kinds of styles but with a strong interest in folk songs.

I've been made to think again about bowing out altogether from performing by the kind comments from people at gigs and online in recent weeks. I've decided I'm going to play a handful of gigs this Autumn and the following Spring.
Also there's a few songs, trad and self-penned, people at gigs over the last few months keep asking about. So I'm going to record them, solo and very simply, and release as some kind of EP thing in the Autumn. More on this as and when.
In the meantime, I'll be using the break from gigging over the next few months to do lots of reading, writing, playing, studying and, most of all, babysitting!
❤️❤️❤️
Just kidding (slightly!): you do know it's not babysitting if you are the father, right? ;-)
Good to hear Ewan! Hope you find your way down to Brighton Toy and Model Museum again!
Well Ewan McLennan your music which I recently discovered has been a revelation to me, and you've opened up the joys of open C tuning in a way nobody else has. Please enjoy a break and, most importantly, enjoy your family, but don't go away your music is a blessing to us all
Awesome news!
So happy to hear this and I hope to see you in Edinburgh again soon
Good plan!
Really pleased to hear that - hope to get to see you again at one of your gigs.
Great news. Enjoy your break from gigging and especially the babysitting. They grow up so fast and soon move from one difficult phase to another, sometimes a less annoying one.
What good news. Look forward to the EP. Enjoy your lovely little lad.
Really good news :)
Brilliant news! :-)
Delighted to hear :P
Great news! Went to the recent gig in Durham and you and the support were amazing. Can’t wait for the EP. Thanks ✌️
This is great news. I can’t wait to see you again. Edinburgh next time, perhaps?
So pleased to hear this,we always look forward to seeing some time in the year. Although we do understand.
Excellent news!
Thats seriously wonderful news
Yey!!
So glad to hear it. I'd love to take my daughter to watch you perform, she's four and loves your music. Coming back to Devon any time soon? Xxx
Ewan very good news !
Fingers crossed I can catch you again in the autumn or spring then - and looking forward to the EP :-)
Not babysitting - parenting!
That's happy news, especially if it makes you happy, too. Your music and spirit and the way you share is a gift.
Yesss!
It's inspiring to read about the school children organising and taking part in the #climatestrike today. More power to their elbow! They are giving us hope and direction, and setting an example to us all in their taking our future on this planet seriously.
Two really nice gigs last week, London and Elstow. Thanks to everyone who came along
