“The Cailleach’s Song (Queen of Winter’s Reign)” is a haunting folk ballad inspired by Celtic mythology’s divine hag — the Cailleach, the ancient Queen of Winter. Her voice echoes through storm and stone, shaping mountains, calling the winds, and guiding the world through its long sleep. This song honors her as both creator and destroyer — the veiled one who rules the turning of the seasons.

Traditional Celtic instrumentation, ethereal vocals, and storytelling lyrics weave a soundscape of frost, myth, and memory. ❄️

The Cailleach song

I’m a luthier who found songwriting later in life. Though I build instruments, I’ve never claimed to be the best musician — but I do have a voice that crosses genres and carries the stories I want to tell. My songs are rooted in personal experiences, reflections, and the stories life leaves behind.

I began using AI as a springboard to bring my ideas to life, but my ultimate goal is to record and release music in my own voice. Every track is part of a journey — from craft to song, from tools to tales.

1st album by Charlie and the Fox is out now https://open.spotify.com/album/78ewrWZjS41XvHT9mFWd6O?si=qkG2b5LbSK6mo6qDzuZskw Quick note , if someone plays a track of mine I Always return the favour , and if they have no tracks I always say thank you ! But sometimes SC will show me all the listeners , but other times they only show me the last 2 hours and I have no idea of who listened to what , it is so annoying , and I apologise if I miss anyone out , it's not deliberate , I value every single one of my listeners ! Self confessed Music Addict ! I write and play/vocalise everything myself whether it be real or synthetic . Recently teamed up with Charlotte Thornton , and together we are Charlie and the Fox , it's the best thing I have ever done musically . Char has an outstanding voice , writes amazing lyrics and comes up with melodies I would never have dreamed of , it's a partnership that works so well , and long may it continue ! We thank you for listening , liking and commenting . Cheers , Mike and Char .
