Iain Petrie

"Organic Celtic Soul"

Iain Petrie has been refining his songwriting craft for many years. His music is truly eclectic and anachronistic, reflecting the timeless nature of all great music. Based around the infectious melodies of the talented singer/songwriter, the arrangements defy comparison to any one musical style, drawing inspiration from folk, soul, jazz, Americana and 60's pop.

As described by Metro, "If John Martyn and James Taylor were in The Beatles, it might have sounded like this." With infectious melodies and colourful arrangements the songs are spiritual, romantic and uplifting.

An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, Iain plays almost everything on the album. To reproduce this sound live Iain has put together a talented band of soul brothers. The band members are:

  • Iain Petrie (acoustic/electric guitars/vocals)

  • Alistair Petrie (keyboards/bass/piano), who has worked with the highly respected Hobotalk and Ainslie Henderson

  • Orren Karp (electric guitar/vocals), who has played in seminal folk/jazz big band Junction Pool

  • Allan Cranston (drums/percusion/vocals), who has also worked with Hobotalk and Ainslie Henderson

Iain explains his musical motivation: "This is a time of very fast growth for the band. We are at the very forefront of the kind of pop music that has depth, meaning and long lasting and broad appeal".

Capitalising on recently winning the prestigous String Jam Club Musician Of The Year, Iain says: "Our philosophy is that music should be inspiring, uplifting and unifying. All of us in the band love what we do; there is nothing better than getting together with a lot of people and creating a wave of joy."
