Ian Benzie, In Search of...

Hi!

I'm trying to get in touch with Ian Benzie who wrote a song entitled, I believe, "A Wife in Every Port." Any help is much appreciated.

All the best,
Dan Milner

I know Ian sometimes responds to messages on this forum. I'd like to know where to order his two solo CD's. Where are you, Ian??? Are you planning on touring anytime soon???

I am refreshing this thread to see if anybody can shed any light on Ian's whereabouts, and what he is up to since leaving Old Blind Dogs.

My wife is a huge fan of Ian Benzie's singing and was ecstatic to find a couple of Youtube videos of the original Old Blind Dogs line-up.

The Barnyards of Delgaty

The Back o' Bennachie

Surely Ian is far too young to have contemplated retirement ?

This sounds like a really great solo album he came out with in 2002: Click.

There are a couple of threads titled after the song, one of which has the words, but you probably already knew that.:-)

The last time he posted, I believe he said he was living in Swansea (or was it Cardiff) - anyway it was Wales. Hopefully he'll read this. I too am a fan and wish he'd make another CD.

With mary's clue, I found an email address which he posted in 2004:

ianfbenzie@fireflyuk.net

at the time, he said he was in "Clare's" in Switzerland. I guess that means Clare D. Harper, his partner?

I couldn't find any more recent posting than that of 2004, but it may just be the search function not working completely well and/or my not giving it the right search parameters.

Hope the email works, then.:-)
