	IONA biography @ www.gospel.it
		Geographically, Iona is a small island, only 3 miles long, located off the western coast of Scotland, a short ferry ride from the Island of Mull.
		Historically, Iona is the place from which St. Columba landed on in 563 AD along with his twelve companions and remained his home for the rest of his life.
		Musically, Iona is a British-based band whose lyrics focus on the roots of Christianity in the British Isles, and whose musical style, even if the band do not like being labelled, is a blend of Celtic pop, rock and new age, often compared to that of Clannad, Enya, Kate Bush, Yes, and Peter Gabriel.

	Iona a feature of the the Phantom Tollbooth
		Iona's van actually arrived on the grounds of Cornerstone Festival 24 hours and 5 minutes later than our interview was originally scheduled.
		Bainbridge - The band is a lot more pigeon-holed as a Christian music band in America than in England where it's just perceived as a band doing ministry music as well.
		The mystery of Iona may be why they've enjoyed such success while remaining committed to artistic integrity and personal balance.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: DVD/VIDEO REVIEWS
		Due to the fact that the band members all live a long distance from each other, Iona is not in a position to tour the world constantly.
		Because it had been quite some time since they played in London, the band thought it might be a good idea to play an acoustic set as kind of a support to their own concert.
		Iona's music very much remains a mixture of all kinds of elements but they have found their own distinctive sound without a doubt.

		Iona and Cornerstone Festival Committee announced the cancellation of Iona's scheduled appearance at this year's festival on July 4th.
		Iona's singer, Joanne Hogg, is pregnant, and two Transatlantic flights and all stress involved in the trip, could place an unacceptable strain on her baby with potentially life-threatening consequences.
		The band is preparing for a concert with the All Souls Orchestra in May at the Royal Festival Hall in London, a show that will feature appearances from current and past Iona members.

		The CD was produced by the band and recorded and mixed by drummer Terry Meeks at Sector7G Recording.
		Due to a number of reasons, the band has been largely on hiatus for the past 4 years, but Larry, Steve and Terry have been rehearsing regularly for the past year and have written almost a full CD worth of new material.
		We are not interested in being the backup band for your solo career, nor are we interested in someone who does not wish to actively participate in the creative process.

	Iona - Open Sky at Musical Discoveries
		The band's concert performances are incredible (review) and should not be missed, however the live albums are the next best thing.
		Iona's new album opens with the studio version of their epic instrumental "Woven Cord" which originally appeared on their prior album of the same name.
		Iona's latest studio release is a tremendous testament to a talented group of five musicians, completely illutrating their virtuosity.

		Thus the idea of Iona the band was formed as David shared his experiences with Dave Bainbridge, and the two suddenly had a focus for music for the band they had been thinking of getting together.
		In July of 2001, the band was dropped by US label Forefront after management changes at the company and a change of emphasis to favour signing younger, chart-oriented artists.
		Iona has experienced first hand the twists and changes in the vast horizons of life of which they sing, but their music continues to flow beyond these shores toward the safe harbor.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Woven Cord - Iona/The All Souls Orchestra at Epinions.com
		Largely undiscovered in America, this British progressive rock band has slowly built a loyal following in their native England, fusing together elements of rock, jazz, and Celtic music (which they were doing before the resurgence of the trend) into a blend of music that is truly their own.
		Iona doesn't preach Christianity so much as simply living and breathing it, and combining ancient writings of Celtic saints with their own musical poetry to create a truly transcendent musical experience.
		Frankly, I wish more bands would follow that lead in their live shows, thinking more carefully about the flow of the music and how certain delays and general fooling around will be received by an audience who mainly came to hear their music.

	CCM Magazine
		Iona plays what, 20 years ago, might have been called "progressive rock" (think Pink Floyd, Moody Blues or Yes, with some restraint.) Much of the band's first three albums, and significant portions of Journey, is based on figures and stories from the early Celtic church.
		Aggressive without overplaying, Bainbridge's performances demonstrate the tension and release that is crucial to appreciating just how accomplished a band Iona is. Keeping with the theme of "Encircling," based on the Celtic word "lorica" or "breastplate" (from Ephesians), Iona's music surrounds the listener, seeming to have no beginning and no end.
		The words, when not taken directly from Scripture, are based on the diaries and teachings of a number of devout men and women who took seriously their mission to impart the Word of God to a largely illiterate world.

	Detailed Reviews [Iona - 2006 - "Live in London DVD"] - ProgressoR
		Over the course of the band's career, they have produced five studio albums, two live, and have a new studio album, "The Circling Hour", due to be released later this year.
		Encircling is Iona at their progressive best, shifting and sliding effortlessly from section to section, mood to contrasting mood and it runs the gamut from ethereal to powerful rock.
		Iona is not a prog band in the classic prog sense of culling more from classical or jazz.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album reissues by Christian Celtic rock band Iona called Heaven's Bright Sun, Woven ...
		Iona always took a slightly different tack to other Celtic crossover bands, Capercaillie for example trawled the native back catalogue whilst stirring up a frenzy with funked up jigs and reels.
		Iona, on the other hand, specialise in a broad musical canvas that reflects a Celtic tradition that is inspirational rather than indigenous.
		The cover of 2000's Open Sky (Open Sky OPENVP8CD) is all dark and broody and is inspired by the early Christianity of the Western Isles, a fascinating landscape of remoteness, intrigue and mystical reflection.

		Musically, Iona is a British-based band whose lyrics focus on the roots of Christianity in the British Isles, and whose musical style, even if the band do not like being labelled, is a blend of Celtic pop,(progressive) rock and new age, often compared to that of Clannad, Enya, Kate Bush, Karnataka, and Peter Gabriel.
		Iona's second album, The Book of Kells, is a concept album, focusing on one theme only: The Book of Kells, an 8th century manuscript filled with lush pictures illustrating the Gospels, possibly originating from the monastery at Iona.
		In 1998, after eight and a half years of albums and touring, the members of the band feel its time for a period of reassessment and some wanted to do some solo-projects and others just wanted to stop.
