Originally released on the Irish Claddagh label in 1981, 'Songs Of Love And Parting' was Robin's first solo album after the amicable demise of the Merry Band. All songs were written by Robin (with a few traditional tunes thrown in for good measure!) and are now regarded by many as his finest compositions.
the album contains the classics 'For Mr Thomas' (a tribute to the Welsh Bard), which was later covered by Van Morrison, 'Fare Thee Well Sweet Mally' and 'Flower Of The Briar'.
Around the same time Robin released a cassette of songs and poetry titled 'Selected Writings' which was only ever sold at concerts. This is closely linked with the 'SL&P' album, as material from both collections made up a substantial part of his 'Tree of Leaf & Flame' stage show. The cassette also contained Robin's major poetic piece, 'Edinburgh', that reflects on his childhood and early years as a musician in his hometown.
