I have a profile up on new music discovery platform, Tradiio, at http://tradiio.com/ian-roland. “Music fans stream songs by up and coming artists and then ‘invest’ in the ones they believe in the most using virtual coins that they are given on signing up. They can then win rewards like festival tickets, vouchers for record shops and headphones for ‘investing’ wisely.” Tradiio

I am very much looking forward to recording my new album in March, with a planned release in April 2015. I will be going back into the studio with the same players as are on my debut ‘Helicopter’ EP, with the addition of Simon Yapp on fiddle.

Tues – 17th Feb 2015 – Great night at the Hop Poles in Brighton hosted by Amy and Rosie of Eyes and Ears Brighton.

I had a fantastic night at Hove Folk Club seeing Grace Petrie , Robb Johnson, and others. It was packed! What a great club. I played a couple of new songs too.
