2010 was a year filled with an abundance of new and exciting gigs and projects for Iain. From performances with the BBC Big Band, John Wilson Orchestra and his regular Ronnie Scott’s Big Band gigs, to working with Sandie Shaw and Tony Hatch at Goodwood Vintage Festival, and featuring on the new T-Mobile advert ‘Welcome Back’ at Heathrow Terminal 5. Since Jan 2010, Iain has been on tour three times with Brendan Cole’s (Strictly Come Dancing) Live and Unjudged Show. He has recorded tracks for a Reader’s Digest album dedicated to the music of Jimmy Van Heusen , and has been busy writing and recording with the ChinChin/Club Des Belugas crew in Germany…look out for new releases soon!

This year promises to be just as diverse and interesting...Iain kicked off the year in style at the Burj al Arab in Dubai for their New Years Eve celebrations, and before going off on tour again with Mr Cole, he managed to squeeze in a Dean Street Pizza Express Mel Tormé tribute with the Frank Griffith Nonet and a night at Ronnie Scott’s with Pete Long and the Big Band. Up and coming highlights for 2011 include performances with RTÉ Concert Orchestra in Dublin, the Simply Big Band UK tour, more Ronnie’s, more at Goodwood, and, if all goes according to plan, a new album is in the pipeline…watch this space!!
