Hey everyone, quick update from Dave. Firstly I hope everyone is keeping well and safe. In these times of enforced isolation I've been steadily working away on 'The Book of Iona' Iona box set over the past several weeks and there has been an exciting development!
The original idea was to include one dvd in the box, however we've decided to leave that until the full Iona DVD box set comes out, and instead to include a cd of newly recorded versions of a number of Iona tunes, but not as you've heard them before! This cd, to be titled The Sound World of Iona will be cd 17 in the box! It will include new mainly (but not all) instrumental recordings featuring past Iona band members David Fitzgerald, Nick Beggs, Frank Van Essen Troy Donockley, Terl Bryant, Tim Harries, Martin Nolan, Mike Haughton, Martin Neil and (tbc at the time of writing), Phil Barker. Plus myself, both solo and in collaboration and special guest Sally Minnear. Some tracks are already recorded and others will be completed over the next week or so. I'm very excited about this development and it will really be the icing on the cake for what will be an incredible release, which already includes some great, previously unreleased recordings from the band!
Pre-orders for the box set will be starting very soon!

REVISITING SOME ANCIENT WELLS!
A few images from some Donegal sites that have inspired some songs..... like
Ancient Wells, Edge of the World, Here I Stand.....
Tonight I’ll be joining with the musicians of New Irish Arts at the Bangor Mission Convention concert to perform a few songs including The Ancient Wells. Then on Monday I’m travelling to Gartan in Donegal ( birthplace of St Colmkille) to join with Rhema Ministries and Rebecca Friedlander on a Worship/intercession tour of ancient Celtic Christian sites in Ireland. Excited. 😁🙏

DANCING......
I stumbled across this on YouTube today. A song I recorded in 2008 in Nashville for a solo album entitled Personal..... one that went well under the radar and is no longer available.
Also features some lovely low whistle by Troy Donockley 🎶😁
