Band News

Nick Fletcher's excellent album 'Cathedral of Dreams' is once again in stock on the Iona webstore. Nick is an incredibly talented guitarist, improviser and composer of music for solo guitar and we are thrilled to have this release included in the Open Sky catalogue. As well as being a first cd release of Nick’s own solo guitar compositions, the album will be of huge interest to fans of IONA as it features Nick playing ‘Iberian Fantasy’, a 24 minute long Guitar Concerto co-written and orchestrated by IONA’s Dave Bainbridge and Nick himself. Those of you who bought our ‘Songs for Luca 2’ double cd release will already have heard Nick’s beautiful playing on two tracks on that album - ‘Silver Moon’ and Red Sun’. The music spans a wide range of influences from the Baroque era to Iberian, Argentine and Brazilian dance forms. Also rhythms from Eastern Europe and traditional music from the Hebredian Isles.
