Hi Ian Got your name from PGO. Trying to find out if we have a musical connection. What band or bands did you play with before you went to America?
Hi George, Les Sounds in the 60s, The Mob, Salvation, and The Dream Police in the 70s, toured Europe, Canada and The States mid 70s to mid 80s as sound engineer for the name acts of the day....then I had to go try find myself again....and here we are !
Ian I played with Studio 6 in 1967, - keyboards- we toured Europe finished up in Portugal after 1 year where we split up.Our bass player was a guy called Malcolm Sergeant who was the lead guitarist with a clydebank band called the Apaches.He still lives in portugal .Anyway, I had a conversion with Jeff Roberts who asked if I was influenced by the sound of AWB.Studio 6, along with the Poets etc. used to do the radio Scotland clan balls ,so we played a gig at the Hub in clydebank along with Dream Police. Peter had asked me if I knew you from Brain Police so that's how this all started. I have came back to music after about 20 years ,not playing but trying to write songs. Nice to hear from you. If you ever get bored you can tell me about Brain Poilce , that would be one hell of a story. Keep in touch
Hi Peter I don't recall the name Ian Kenny but,if he is scottish and played in Scotland then we could have musical connections.Would be interested to find out more. Prayer is a song that could mean different things to many people but should leave everyone with hope and encouragement. I like the jazz stuff too. I like all types of jazz
Ian was lead guitarist for Brain Police - and, yes he is Scottish. Thank You for the musical compliment.
Hamish Stewart was the original singer with AWB and I played some gigs in Glasgow with his previous band at the time which was called Dream Police.So. I go back a long way, an old hippy I suppose. I think I got the comment boxes mixed up previously.
Hi Jeff Nice songs especially Sarah and The second Hand.Lyrics are great and the guitar reminds me of Dave Gilmour only you have more emotion in your playing. Your songs are what song writing is really about, telling a story ,painting a picture and expressing your emotions. Great songs.
Dang! Thank you George! I enjoyed your tunes the other day, and I get why you like the more existential lyrics since you're in the camp! And how does a Glaswegian get so funky? (I guess AWB could answer that) Thanks so much! ~Jeff
does the name Ian Kenny ring a bell? he's a fellow B'Jam member and all-around good mate.
Peter, I don't recall the name Ian Kenny but if he is scottish and played in Scotland there may be a musical connection.Would be interested to find out more. I Like the song Prayer, everyone needs hope and encouragement at some point in their lives and the occasional miracle helps. Marrying the lyrics to the music , prosody I think it's called , is what every song writer tries to do, although the music played in opera tends to produce more emotional feeling than the words sung. Nice work Peter.
I appreciate your critique and enjoyment of my music. Things going well .getting plenty of interest...droppingva 10song gospel project this year as well as writing with and for other artists and genres.
I *do* enjoy your music!!
Hi Jeff Nice songs especially, Sarah and The Second Hand. Good lyrics and the guitar reminds me of Dave Gilmour, only I think you have more emotion in your style. Your songs are what song writing really is about, telling a story,painting a picture and expressing your emotions. Great songs.
Good work George love the diversity !
Love the mood in these tracks!
Thank you the very good ratings for my songs. I like your instrumental technique.
