Dominic Ward has recently begun a solo career and is to be found at lastfm.com under the title Dominic G. Ward.
Maeran are Dominic Ward and Steve Wilson. They met at Liverpool University and have been writing, recording and performing ever since. They originally performed covers of Simon-Garfunkel songs, but soon began producing their own original blend of folk/folk rock music combining unique melodies, captivating vocal and instrumental arrangements and powerful poignant lyrics that challenge people to listen to what they have to say.
Dom and Steve spent most of their early career performing and produced two albumns of songs , ‘Favourite Person, Favourite Place’ and ‘Ten Comma Waltz’ both of which have excellent original works on. Since 2000 however, they have spent most of their time in the studio writing and recording and in 2001 founded their own recording company, Homeward88 Records . The first public release under this label was in 2005, with their CD, ‘A Leaf Stains the Wind’, which originally went on sale on at efolk music. It is the culmination of several years of hard work and includes some excellent original works, most notably their anthem, ‘Fight No More’, which was number 1 in the mp3.com folk charts and at other mp3 sites in no less than 6 countries. This was followed in 2006 by, ‘Hollyhocks and Hedgerows’, which they believe is like nothing else out there - twelve totally unique compositions that tell the story of childhood to adulthood in Maeran’s own inimitable way. Both are now available free at http://www.last.fm/music/Maeran.

British folk with a difference, which makes a change. Hope others enjoy this music as much as I have. A variety of sounds and elements make Maeran's work worth a listen. there's something of Steeleye Span mixed in with Simon Garfunkel and songs from a bygone age. Nice to find a duo with som much variation and unpredictability.
