Richie Murray - Amateur Scottish Composer
I'm an amateur composer and pianist from Glasgow, Scotland.
Most of my compositions are very simple piano pieces written and arranged for learner keyboard players at beginner level.
I get my inspiration from many things, but mainly Scottish places and people.
You can hear excerpts from some of my compositions at TheSixtyOne

New Live Recording
Just uploaded a new track entitled 'Twas on a Monday morning, quite early in the year' to Myspace. It's an unrehearsed, impromptu piano improvisation based around the traditional Scottish song 'Charlie is my darling'.

I created the image of the 'Garnockopoly' board by using the Myopoly software provided with the Make Your Own Opoly product distributed by Paul Lamond Games.
Work is still continuing on 'Family Trees', but now with the aim of extending the piece to include a short variation on the main theme for each family member. While working on this piece I've been doing quite a lot of research about my home town in North Ayrshire and have been intrigued by the growth of the 'Kilbirnie Folk' group on Facebook.
