The melodies are presented in their pure form, played on accoustic instruments only."

	Will Millar takes readers on a swashbuckling rampage through the high seas. He shares his humorous escapades on many different vessels as he travels the world. This will be available shortly as a Talking Book

This past decade since I left the Irish Rovers has been an interesting journey where I hopefully discovered a lot more about myself and was able to chase dozens of stored daydreams and try a lot of new ideas, some that were grand and joyful and successful and only a few that left an ache. I miss the comradeship of the Irish Rovers, and yet on my own I have been able to step out and make new friends and forge new relationships.

 On this site, I would like to introduce you to my music, art and written words I have four beautiful accoustic instrumental C.D's featuring some of Ireland's great musicians like Derek Bell of the Chieftans (Celtic Seasons CD). Recently I received a gold record award for one of these magical Chacra Alternative Music recordings. The great flute player Paul Horn joined me on "Journey of the Celts."

There is also “Songs of  my Irish Rovings” with all the good old songs made popular during my days with the Irish Rovers. There is  “Irish Gold”- a collection of the worlds best loved Irish melodies. And- one of my favourites for kids of all ages “Songs of the Unicorn” Hopefully another couple of C.D’s are on the way! Please click on the songs with the asterisk * and  you will be able to hear some of the great music.

Oh and by the way my recent book "Messing About in Boats" has been made into a talking book for all you sailors who think that reading gets in the way of a good day on the water. You can view my paintings- some new and some older , some available and some sold. You can also get art cards and prints of any of the pieces for $7.00 which includes shipping and handling.

Anyway please rummage through my site that is sort of like a Tinkers Cart of Celtic soul and you never know you might find something that will lift the spirits, make you smile or offer you a bit of escape from whatever is bothering you . As the oul' Chinese Philosopher once said “May the roof above us never fall in and the Friends beneath it never fall out!”

Slainte, Will
