Richard Irwin

Born:

Born in Winchester Ontario, Canada, Richard Irwin was constantly surrounded by music. His father was a multi- instrumentalist and teacher, while his mother, a teacher as well, sang in church with the family. Children’s and church choirs were the beginnings of his musical life, and drums and percussion came shortly after. At 11 years old, a school friend invited him over to check out his new kit, and his passion for the instrument began. Noticing that a serious interest had developed, he was sent to learn the fundamentals. Weekly lessons at the Glengarry School of Pipes and Drums taught him every rudiment on the snare, as well as a chance to compete in Scottish events all over North America and Europe at a very early age. The drum set soon replaced snare competitions, and the Pipe Band was substituted with concert bands, small orchestras, pit bands, and various working bar bands

Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra: Habitat

Read "Habitat" reviewed by Jack Bowers
