Iona Lane

IONA LANE
Musician Pub May 22nd 2023

A real treat for us last night at the The Musician Pub with the visit of a very special talent, Iona Lane.

Iona has a really lovely ethereal voice, plays excellent guitar and enhances the sound with a box controlled by foot to give a lovely droney sound behind the guitar (sadly i have no idea what it is called... but it works perfectly).
The set was mainly original material, beautiful songs crafted with a real feeling for the landscape, nature and history, including a song about 19th century pleantologist Mary Anning, who is believed to be the origin of the tongue twister "she sells seashells..." which Iona managed to sing without hesitation or tripping...
We also got 3 quality covers, covering Sandy Denny, & Joni Mitchell.
This was a simply spellbinding performance by a very talented artist...
Such a tragedy that the Leicester audience stayed away in their droves... they missed a real treat...
Keep music live... keep music real.. support your local venues
