Ian 'Walter' Fairbairn Biography

Ian 'Walter' Fairbairn is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on August 28, 1953 in United Kingdom.

With fellow schoolfriend Stu Luckley they formed a duo called Trimrigg, and played folk music around Tynemouth, Cullercoats and Whitley Bay. In time the line-up expanded to include Luckley’s girlfriend Margi. In 1971, Hedgehog Pie decided to replace the departing mandolin player, Andy Seagrove, by absorbing Trimrigg into their ranks. Fairbairn remained with Hedgehog Pie for two years, performing on BBC Radio (Folk on 2), at the Edinburgh Festival with Silly Wizard, and his first appearance at the Cambridge Folk Festival. Hedgehog Pie were the result of the flourishing folk revival in northern England and the attempts to extend the British folk rock movement in the region. They failed to achieve mainstream recognition, but retain a local and cult following in the context of northern folk music.

By 1973 Fairbairn, along with Phil Murray joined Jack the Lad, who recorded three albums and toured extensively before Lindisfarne reformed. The last Jack the Lad concert took place in Redcar in July 1977, although several reunions culminated in an appearance at the Skagen Festival in Denmark in 1993. In 1978 Fairbairn joined the award winning country band, Midnight Flyer, and has played with them on and off over the years.
