Celtic music is a thread which has run through Chris Conway's music from the beginning.
Influenced by Alan Stivell, and The Moving Hearts, he formed the Celtic band Universal Spirit in his college days. He then began adding Celtic touches to The Rain Garden world music band sets.

Govannen
He then formed the Govannen band, recording and producing 4CDs. Govannen remains his main Celtic outlet, and they play regularly in concert format plus weddings, festivals and ceilidhs.

Recordings
He has always infused Celtic touches on his singer-songwriting albums - there are usually at least a couple of Celtic tracks on each album. Celtic music has featured prominantly on his new age albums too. He has also recorded and produced albums for Celtic harper France Ellul and Irish singer Bridget McMahon.

Irish Whistles
Over the years his Irish low and tin whistle playing, and especially his improvising on them, have become trademarks and he is much in demand for recording sessions.
