Chester ON, Oswestry OFF!

/ Ian Prowse / Leave a comment

Ian and friends continue with the ‘Best Of’ year by playing in Chester tomorrow night (Friday 27th) as part of a Summer of FREE shows in the Courtyard at the Commercial Inn. The venue is situated right in the middle of the city just behind the cross.

Ian will be onstage at 9.30. Support comes from Callum McMorran. Last time was a grand evening and the weather is promising to be good too!

Sadly the full Amsterdam show at the Old Vaults on Aug 4th has now been postponed, this was completely outside the power of the band and is a venue decision. Huge apologies for that.

Summer shows coming up!

/ Ian Prowse / Leave a comment

There are 6 great Summer shows coming up which will continue the promotion of The Very Best of Ian Prowse album which was released earlier this year. 4 of the gigs are performances by Ian (plus friends) and 2 are full on Amsterdam 7 piece band shows.

Firstly Ian will play his first EVER solo headlining show in London at the famous Half Moon venue. Then 2 shows at the Philharmonic in Liverpool (Rodewald suite). This show is often described as the most enjoyable of the year by Ian and one night has already sold out!

Then the full Amsterdam band are playing the final night of the Wirral Festival of Firsts, this lovely new festival sees the gang play in the Hoylake Chapel next door to the Merseyrail station.

The Summer programme will be wrapped up with two outdoor shows. One is in the courtyard at The Commercial Inn Chester with the other being the full Amsterdam bands first ever appearance in Oswestry at the Old Vaults.

/ Ian Prowse / Leave a comment

Ian and Johnny will return to their home town’s biggest and most glorious venue on Saturday 2 June for the most important Amsterdam show of the year. The gig has been specially booked to celebrate ‘The Very Best Of Ian Prowse’ CD and is the first time in 18 years Ian has played at the Ellesmere Port Civic Hall which is the crown jewel in the town’s civic area.

Ian is really looking forward to seeing a lot of familiar faces and putting on a truly great show for the town we’re he did his first ever gig at the local Youth Centre back in 1982. ‘I think I know every single person in the ‘Port’, that’s about 80,000 people! We’re gonna have a hell of a party afterwards as well, a real celebration, don’t miss this one’.

The night will be made extra special as the 8 piece Amsterdam musical circus will also be joined by the genuinely legendary Brian Saxophone Jones on a tune or two.
