Ian has always been a very encouraging force in my musical story. I remember back in the 1980s when my band Jargon appeared at the National Stadium where Ian was directing television series called ‘Festival Folk’ he brought me to the vision mixing studio to show me how he was editing the show. No one has ever brought me in there since. I found it so interesting. Ian has been in touch with me on Facebook over the years and always has something positive to say. at the risk of being profane I would have to mention Ian’s drumming. He was the coolest dude on the jazz and blues scene back in the day. Anyway profanity -‘Whats the similarity between a premature ejaculation and a drum solo?’answer ‘You know they’re both going to happen and there’s not a thing you can do about it.’ Get well soon Ian
