Dan Haywood Music | Dan Haywood
A Lancaster-based songwriter and ornithologist, Dan’s original music comes from a place of deep connection with the natural world – “His primary influences…seem to have seeped up from the ancient ground on which he made these airy and beautifully understated recordings”

Recent release “Making Memories on the Pennine Way” is a tribute to the hills of his home, as well as being a collaboration with his dad Jon, former head of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
