About Ian
Favourite Song - I am partial to the music of Alexander O'Neal, George Benson and the late Luther Vandross. If I have to come up with just one song then it would have to be 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' by Aerosmith as this is the song that reminds me of the birth of both my son and daughter and reminds me how lucky I am to be a Dad...
Favourite Gig - I would have to say my favourite gig has to be the singer songwriter Paul Carrack. I've worked with Paul a couple of times and each time he just delivers an outstanding performance, apart from being an extremely talented artist he is also one of the worlds Mr Nice Guys.
Favourite Film - The Greatest Showman. It's just one of those films I can watch time and time again.
Favourite Place in Portsmouth - There's nothing like a nice walk along Southsea Seafront on a lovely summers day with the family.
