Ian Melrose

**Ian Melrose** is a British fingerstyle guitarist and composer known for his intricate acoustic arrangements and warm, melodic storytelling. Based in Germany for decades, he’s carved a niche blending Celtic folk influences with European acoustic traditions, often weaving in subtle nods to his adopted home (evident in tracks like *Ein Himmel voller Sterne*). A longtime collaborator with Irish legends Clannad, Melrose’s solo work shines with quiet virtuosity, reimagining classics like *Scarborough Fair* and *Moon River* into intimate guitar conversations. His recent *Peace Tour 2023* and reflective releases like *Sitting in the Stern of a Boat* highlight his knack for crafting music that feels both timeless and gently adventurous. Whether interpreting traditional tunes or crafting originals, Melrose’s playing remains a cozy campfire for the soul.
