"I have played in multiple shows conducted by Ian over the years. He was always incredibly hard working and reliable. His musical directing skills are second to none and wouldn't hesitate in recommending his talent to anyone"
‘I had the pleasure of working with Ian in 2023, during which time I was lead vocalist and he was band leader. I couldn’t recommend Ian highly enough - I thoroughly enjoyed working with him & was always in awe & inspired by his musicianship & leadership. He is fair, can sight read ANYTHING (we were doing 15 different themes of music over a two week cruise period - so about 300 songs!) and is also just a pleasure & a great laugh to work with (important in any industry, but especially in this one working so closely with others) as well as being a great musician, he brings the human element to it & always is there for his colleagues. He helped myself & many singers and musicians on ship really tap in to their potential, and is a great mentor’
