Murray Grainger has a great love for traditional music from the UK and beyond. With a variety of sounds from Irish, French and British music Murray has established an enviable reputation.
Murray has worked extensively in the traditional music field, with some of the finest players around.
Working with bands such as Mahogany Gaspipes and LinnTilla, collaborating with Steafan Hannigan, resulted in some of the most exciting sounds around. The fusion of jazz, rock and electronic music with the finest traditional sounds has excited Murray for years and he is currently working on a new project, with Andy Dinan on fiddle among others.
The accordion is one of the finest instruments in small ensembles and Murray has worked with many different players, such as Andy Dinan, Cormac Byrne, Desi Donnely, Jon Loomes, Steafan Hannigan etc. His accordion duo with Amy Thatcher resulted in the renowned album 'Paperbird'.
As a solo performer Murray has learnt a lot from other players and has been keen to follow the tradition of the past. He then is able to add his own style and field, based on his wide and varied experience, to create his inimitable sound.
