Iona: Iona - Live At ULU CD

At last we have it - a full length film of a band noted for their powerful and atmospheric live performances. Filmed in front of an enthusiastic audience on a rainy November night in 2004 at The University of London, here we have many of the band's classic tracks as well as a glimpse of what is to come on their forthcoming studio album in the shape of 4 new tracks.

With superb lighting from Paul Kell, a full 5 camera film crew and an amazing 5.1 surround sound mix from John Kellogg (producer of surround mixes by many classic rock artists including Deep Purple, ELP and Chicago), this DVD really makes you feel like you are there amongst the audience soaking up the atmosphere. Also included in the special features is the band's opening acoustic set, where you can hear refreshingly scaled down reworkings of some of Iona's best loved tracks.

Uniquely combining rock, folk, progressive, ethnic and ambient elements with the crystalline voice of Joanne Hogg as their focus, Iona create 'a blaze of colours and textures ... all the sounds fusing into a single, yearning, heartfelt, beautiful cry'.
