Thank you, Andrew Frolish, of Americana UK, for premiering the video for ‘The Beacon’…https://americana-uk.com/video-premiere-ian-roland-the-beacon

“Check out Ian Roland’s third single of 2024.  ‘The Beacon’ is another beautiful tune, mirroring the gorgeous landscapes of which Roland sings.  His words show a real connection between Roland and the natural world, an affinity and respect that he transmits effectively to the listener.  Roland’s pure singing voice is central to ‘The Beacon’ and his range and melody are particularly impressive when he hits the high notes in the chorus.  There are subtle changes of pace and a full sound, thanks to Roland’s gifted collaborators, particularly Simon Yapp on violin and viola and Mishkin Fitzgerald, who delivers piano, keyboards and backing vocals.  Dave Coomber on bass and James Chapman on drums complete the line-up and add compelling rhythms.”
