Post Description

Studio Album, released in 2000


Het vijfde studio album van deze Celtic Folk Prog formatie.


IONA is a progressive Celtic rock group hailing from the UK. They"ve been making music since 1989. The group is comprised of five extremely talented musicians: the gentle and passionate vocals of Joanne Hogg, the masterful guitar work and production skills of Dave Bainbridge, Phil Barker"s solid bass playing, Frank Van Essen"s steady and exciting drum work, and Troy Donockley"s interesting and colorful use of traditional Celtic instruments. There"s simply no denying that these five are among the most skillful musicians in Christian music, if not the entire music business. For an interesting and fresh take on symphonic and folk rock, it would be hard to find a better band. For fans of: CLANNAD, GENESIS, YES, ENYA
