Ian Prowse

Thornton Hough Village Club presents Ian Prowse : Mersey Hymns Acoustic Trio. Ian will singing songs and telling stories of his 30 year musical journey. Merseyside hero Ian is fresh off the back of 2 UK tours as very special guest with Elvis Costello, a phenomenal online FB show during the pandemic (40 episodes!) and his best 2 back-to-back albums since he began with Pele back in 1991. Pele signed to Polydor Records and promptly had a Number 1 hit in South Africa as well as UK tours with The Pogues, Del Amitri and the first 3 singles on the BBC Radio 1 playlist. Ian then formed Amsterdam who had John Peel weeping live on air every time he played the classic Does This Train Stop On Merseyside, which was then covered by legend Christy Moore and taken to Number 1 in the Irish LP charts. Amsterdam signed to London indie Beat Crazy, their first single crashing into the top 40 at no.32.
