	Iona (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iona is the name of a Christian progressive (or cprog) Celtic/pop/rock band from the United Kingdom, which was formed in the late 1980s by lead vocalist Joanne Hogg and multi-instrumentalists David Fitzgerald and Dave Bainbridge.
		The album was loosely based on the legendary voyage of St.
		Terl Bryant departed the band between these two albums, and Frank Van Essen returned to fill the vacant spot, playing drums as well as violin, which could be heard on the band's 2000 album, Open Sky.

	Frank's Page
		Frank was born in 1967 and was brought up with music, both his parents being professional musicians, and with a brother studying violin at the conservatoire of music.
		Frank met Dave Bainbridge in 1989 while touring Adrian Snell's "The Passion" and was asked to join Iona in 1990.
		Frank had joined a well known Dutch worship band (the Ronduit -unpronounceable for the English, I know!- Praise Band) in the meantime as drummer, violin player and singer, and was soon asked to start writing songs and arranging for the band, something he really enjoyed and perfected in the years to follow.

		Frank was asked to join "Iona" and was part of the band for almost 2 years performing at concerts and on the fist Iona video.
		However, last March Frank decided to resign from the worship band because he and Marlou felt that God was leading them into another direction.

		Van Essen's crescendo drumming sets the pace in a tapestry of rhythms while Troy Donockleys pipes sit moodily on top.
		The instrumental pastiche, "Castlerigg", starts with the haunting tones of pipes and builds up to include drums, stacking layer upon layer of rhythm and sound when suddenly, all we are left with Van Essen's trembling violin and Joanne's breathy vocals, before pipes and drums kick in again and lead us into a lively Celtic reel.
		The talents of newcomers Van Essen and Barker add an extra sound dimension and quality which established Iona fans will love and which will make new fans of others.

		A short piece, "Million Stars" is another new track and focused on Van Essen's violin, supported by Bainbridge's sweeping keyboards.

	Woven Cord A Concert Review by The Phantom Tollbooth
		Mike Haughton is gone, taking the saxophone and many of the jazz elements with him, and Terl Bryant also left, making way for the return of original drummer Frank Van Essen.
		Van Essen's joint abilities of virtuous drummer and violinist were in evidence at Royal Festival Hall, and the violin was used to great effect towards the end of the set.
		Joanne Hogg remains, her keyboard and guitar work only serving to emphasize the amazing sense of melody that is evidenced by her voice.

		Frank van Essen, who accompanies the others on drums, percussion and violin, is Dutch but shares the band's vision no less after years of friendship and partnership.
		Donockley (who specializes in uilleann pipes, low and tin whistles and the cittern, besides guitars and keys) and van Essen helped bring the music together, with a powerful result.
		The effect is an ethereal soundtrack of the past encountering the future with a melancholy oboe melody completed by the gentle strings of resolution.

		Guitarist Dave Bainbridge makes much better use of his talents and available time (73 minutes) as he incorporates less of the innocuous and more of the inspired playing, akin to Steve Hackett as heard on The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and Trick of the Tail.
		In fact the technique employed by drummer Frank Van Essen resembles that of Genesis drummer Phil Collins from that same period.
		The addition of violin (also played by Van Essen) to their lineup has made a difference in that regard.

		The term "solo" is qualified, because Bainbridge’s approach to this project is more of a composer, musical director or orchestra conductor.
		He has assembled a large cast of supporting musicians and vocalists, including fellow members of Iona Joanne Hogg, Frank van Essen, Troy Donockley and Tim Harries, along with other first rate accomplices like Rachel Jones (Karnataka) and Mae McKenna.
		The "Veil" of the title refers to the thinnest of margins separating this life from the next, and sometimes the angelic voices bring us to that brink.

	Iona at Rotherham Rocks 2002 Review at Musical Discoveries
		Lights and sound systems were typical of CRS gigs--dramatic lights highlighted the artists' individual and group performance while sound was powerful and engineered well, albeit a bit boomier than the night before.
		Iona again demonstrated their ability to engage each person in the audience not only with the power, melody and delivery of their music but with their stagecraft.
		Troy, too, is not just a virtuoso on pipes and whistles, he is a marvellously useful musician, also contributing some well placed mandolin, slide and e-bow guitar, as well as some effective backing vocals.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY MARCEL HASTER
		Opener "Woven Cord" is a mixture of rock and Gaelic influences, mainly because of the use of the instruments, such as uillean pipes, whistles, bouzouki, played by Troy Donockley and e-bow, but also the guitars here, played by Dave Bainbridge, sound fantastic.
		Drummer Frank van Essen also plays violins, which give some songs a melancholic, sometimes even classical touch, which works very well with the angelic voice of Joanne Hogg.
		She has a delicate, beautiful voice, really giving a voice to the beautiful atmosphere Iona radiates.

		After all, the album features current and former band mates Troy Donockley, Nick Beggs, Tim Harries, Frank Van Essen, and yes, Joanne Hogg, although she is limited to lead vocals on only one song but does add a lot of wordless vocal textures elsewhere.
		This is a great introduction to a lot of talented artists, and while some tracks may be familiar (Gentle Giant's Aspirations, for instance), there are several tracks that are unique to this project, including a special version of the King's Prayer by the Flower Kings.
		Standout songs are Frank Van Essen's Labyrinth, Iona's Man live in Tokyo, Dave Bainbridge's In the Wake of Colmcille, Jeff Johnson's I'll Look for You, and Karnataka's After the Rain.

	Who_Is_Who? // Dave Bainbridge.
		Beautiful voice of Joanna makes the start of this song, Troy on his uillean pipes brings that real great atmosphere and then after more then 3 minutes of building up the tension the band kicks in.
		An up tempo song, referring to Camel, Dave takes the lead on his guitars and Frank Van Essen (yes a Dutch man) plays wonderful drums.
		Most of the writing is done by myself, Jo and Troy, either together or separately, although for some of the recent new songs we worked from rhythm ideas that Frank came up with.

		If there is more rain during the dry season, there may actually be fewer mosquitoes.
