New Album
Ian is currently in the studio working on a new solo project - and about time too! There has been a great demand to get something down that represents what he does solo and acoustic and finally some time has been put aside! The recording will be done as live as possible and there are even some special guests lined up. Long time friend Sam Hare is adding his Roots/Country influence, as is the legendary pedal-steel master Mr. B.J. Cole. Watch this space...Posted on 18/02/2008
