Iona - Open Sky (2000)

Iona biography
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

Спасибо!

Спасибо, женский вокал я как-то не очень воспринимаю, а в данном случае совсем не плохо.

Молодец, Жэка! Хорошую тему завёл.

Лично мне не помешал бы их последний концерт в Лондоне (2008). Может есть у кого?

Да, вот это крайне любопытно!
Женский вокал - это что надо. Жэка молодец!

Спасибо.
