“Our next showcase artist is a singer-songwriter from Brighton, Ian Roland. Ian has released in April a very good new album called ‘How That Dust Jumps’, which has been receiving a lot of attention. The album was a follow-up to his ‘Helicopter’ EP released in 2013. Our song today is called ‘Hate’ and is taken from his EP, it has a lovely retro feel. This song reminds us of the Starland Vocal Band. https://soundcloud.com/ianroland/ian-roland-hate-1
Ian plays a 12 string guitar, guitars and mandolin. His music can be described as Acoustic, Folk, Folk-Rock and Americana (folk, country, blues, rock & roll mix).
Ian performs at Uxbridge Folk Club on the 25th June. So if you enjoyed his music, please go along and say hello.” Gary Smith
