Band News

Here's a message from Kathy Bunker our USA booking agent: "I am currently booking the US 2012 IONA tour. If you are interested in booking an IONA date (ie if you are a promoter, venue, or think you may be able to put on an IONA gig in your area (eg church venue) please let me know asap. Email me at music4world@netzero.net."

I've just released this new video on the official Iona You Tube channel, Edge of the World filmed at Farncombe, UK gig Friday 14th Oct 2011. We hadn't planned to film complete tracks for You Tube release - we were filming for other purposes that night - but just somehow I was in the right place at the right time, and realised it, so was very careful with camera moves. The band played just perfectly and this is the result for you all to enjoy. Such a joy to be working with Iona with video. Enjoy. For those who don't know this track, it is from the album Beyond These Shores from 1993, still available for sale on the Iona website.

Another very nice review (in French) of Another Realm at www.progressive-area.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2082&Itemid=2
Check out the Google translation! I particularly like:
"The Ancient Wells" is a piece folk-rock bathed in sauces Celtic and Irish, punctuated by a final in which your legs will stand consistently with a tendency to furious jig.
Dave
