About this concert
IOTA played The Musician in 2018 and had a fab gig. They are back as part of their IOTA Spring Tour!! For more information see The Musician page: http://www.themusicianpub.co.uk/gigs_1901.html
The vibrant IOTA merge the solo talents of Tom Jones-mentored Voice 2014 finalist Sally Barker with multi-instrumentalists Anna Ryder and Marion Fleetwood. All three play guitars, sing and write the songs as well as performing a smattering of well chosen cover tunes. Midlands musicians Anna and Marion also play cello, French horn, keyboards, fiddle, accordion and banjo. On their debut album 'O YEH YEH !' IOTA show off their excellent writing and performing skills. A video of song 'Downfall' can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf_3n0uFxF0 Individually they are highly skilled performers, admired by many fellow musicians, together their mix of sublime harmonies, humour, poignant songs and whacky sense humour bring us a fabulous new band !!
