Songs about Richard III: A Richard III music project (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539449843)

Ian Churchward is a singer and guitar player with a band called The Legendary Ten Seconds who has been composing his own songs ever since he first started to play the guitar when he was 18. 'Songs about Richard III' is his first book and it tells the story of how he came to compose a large number of Ricardian songs. He played in a Ceilidh band for nearly 10 years which was originally called Storm Force Ten and later Phoenix (rising from the ashes of the previous band Storm Force Ten!). The band played instrumentals of tunes such as 'A Hundred Pipers'. This became a major influence on his attempts at writing songs. He started to use folk music chord changes in his songs which helped him to compose his songs about Richard III in an English folk rock style.'
