“It’s been quite a while since I felt this excited and impressed by a
singer. Ian King has star-quality and a commanding stage-presence. He
is a grown-up singer, straightforward and strong, and his band, which
includes the incomparable Skip McDonald, surprises and intrigues with
accompaniments that are elegant, witty, daring and powerful. This is English folk music for the 21st century!”
Shirley Collins - April 2009
Formerly a dry stone-waller from Yorkshire, he travelled wide with many musical adventures before reconnecting with the English tradition. He now mixes traditional song with a deep love of dub and reggae, creating his own special sound built around brass and the celebrated production skills of Adrian Sherwood
Ian King's Debut Album PANIC GRASS & FEVER FEW is to be released on Fledg'ling Records 24th January 2010
