Ian has been actively involved in the folk scene in Sussex for decades as a singer, performer and organiser. He is currently a member of one of the area's leading folk dance bands, The Unreel Ceilidh Band as well another popular unit, The Twagger Band. He is also heard playing as a duo with fiddler, Stephen Sibbald but this is a rare opportunity these days to see him give a solo performance. He runs the very popular session on the last Sunday of the month at The White Horse in Ditchling.
In January 2004 he retired from full time work as an engineer in the film and TV industry. Since then he has had the time to develop his life long interest in making guitars and similar musical instruments. He currently makes around eight instruments a year as well as carrying out repairs and customizations.
