My Van Morrison show was 4th top of the bill at glastonbudget - Australia with a 20 pc orchestra with My Roy Orbison show - Greg Dykes birthday party with Melvyn Bragg+++ - The Omega desert golf tourno at the Emirates GC in Dubai - BVs for Sting at the Brits - TV with Westlife sharing the bill with Katie Melua, Boy George, Lemer, Atomic kitten++
Performing for Lorne Balfe.. grammy award winning Hollywood music composer(Mission Impossible/Bat man/Madasgascar, Churchill darkest hour +++
Van Morrison, Sam Cook, CSNY, Al Green, David Gray, all the soul legends.. Paul Weller, Roy Orbison, Mick Hucknall, Bob Marley, The Hollies, Beatles, The Wilburys, The Jam, Ian Dury, PRINCE! Mark Knopfler, Kenny Rogers, Desmond Dekker, Tom Jones...
I was a chef.. it was going to kill me so I retrained as a singer with David & Carrie grant.. I performed as BVs with them at the Brits with Sting and I was quickly invited to audition for Bill Kenwright in the role of Roy Orbison West end. I became renowned world wide in that role.. as I developed I found that I can sing anything.. All my shows have toured world wide including this show.. I love anything that is vocally challenging.. soulful and meaningful
Big stages are great.. but some of my very small ones hold the most affection for me.. it's about people for me, not the crowds
They all have something different and special.. I just love it when people get excited, dancing and singing along...
I've played them all from weddings, theatres, birthdays, TV, Gardens, mansions, Vineyards, a funeral here and there.. and even the odd dirty dive back in the day! They were all great!
set up: about an hour..
I usually do 2 x 45 mins or 2 x 60 mins negotiable
In the shade please
I can try.. and I don't mind learning the odd song..
but remember, there's 17.2 Billion songs in existence and I only know half of them!
I get the final say..
Generally people are extremely impressed by my voice/vocal range. The selection of songs always amazes people.. and the way I sail my way authentically from Van Morrison, Al Green, Paul Weller, Desmond Dekker, Roy Orbison, Ben E King, Franki Valli and some how seamlessly arrive at Simply Red and The Hollies.. with a bit of Status quo thrown in.. This show went International very quickly like my other shows.. I surprised myself with that!
Actual comments - “Thank you for a great show..
Really fantastic and memorable - Well done”
“Iain, it was a pleasure to meet you.. All your performances were super We’re very pleased to have you with us”
