Artist details_

Info

An acoustic guitar based sound, intimate lyrics with sentiment, catchy melodies, lovely harmonies and a style that crosses the Atlantic effortlessly in a blend between Americana and a modern acoustic based UK sound. With a soulful voice, bluesy yet melodic, Ian is the perfect antidote to James Blunt

Signed to UK independent label Jalapeno Records in 2005, Ian produced his debut album on that label, "One Day I" to much critical acclaim.The album is a grand and commandingly produced soulful, Trans-Atlantic sound with mature, honest, sometimes humorous lyrical writing, assured technical ability and a keen melodic pop-rock-radio sensibility.
In 2007 Ian released his self produced and recorded follow up album "Big Light" and has been touring constantly to promote it

Ian performs frequently in the U.K and more recently in Holland. Over the years he has honed his acoustic shows into authoritative and arresting performances. During his last tour of Holland he appeared on many Dutch radio and TV shows as well as playing in many of the best music venues around the country, culminating with a support slot for Canadian artist Justin Nozuka in a sell out concert in Den Haag, In an interesting footnote, after the concert, Ian's CD's outsold Justin's on the merchandising stand which is typical of the response that he has been getting in Holland.

Ian has been invited to perform a showcase gig at this year's NXNE Music and Film Festival in Toronto/Canada.

During the festival, Toronto throws open its heart and its beer fridges to fans from around the world. Bars serve booze till 4 am nightly, so those with the stamina can stay fully lubricated in a crazed quest to get maximum blast from this explosive event.

We don't have Ian's performance details or venue information yet but for up to date info, visit www.nxne.com

Ian's song Dedicate has reached the finals of "The International Songwriting Competition" in Nashville in the Singer/Songwriter category. The winners will be announced in April 2008.

Hello there Rumpelstiltskin and Jesus Christ, oh and not to forget Noddy and Scooby in the back row there…


"Hi."


I’m only goin’ off on tour in Holland again aren’t I!!!


(SEE LIST FOR DATES AND VENUES @ myspace.com/ianbritt and www.ianbrittmusic.com)


I’ll get touring trench foot at this rate! I feel like the Beatles must have felt when they were out there in Hamburg all them years ago a-polishing up their craft. Only hopefully I won’t go on to having a messy public divorce with a greedy-peg-legging-mental-witch with a Heathery penchant for sobbing fraudulently on national TV and millions of pounds of other people’s money-cash-dollar! 


So kids and parental guiders alike… I’m touring with a fantabulous singer and close friend of mine called Yamit Mamo. A huge voice and a warm heart to boot, oooh give her a squeeze. The first time I ever went to Holland was with Yamit and her band when I came second place to her in a song-writing competition between two universities about seven years ago. As I had to suffer the humiliation of coming second place to her then, I have now cunningly coaxed her back to the scene of this heinous crime so’s I can bump her off good and proper by pushing her into a picturesque canal scene. Drownded!!!


Not really. I love her.


(Or do I?)


So it’s a hit-packed fun-filled few weeks of team building in the flatlands of Ducthieo-world baby! Army style imprecision, holding drunken conversations with the indigenous Heron population, a couple of rounds of the screaming Dia-horria-hi-heys after eating the ming from roadside services!  All topped off at the rear end of the sessions with some and far too many lots of Amstells! A night out on the tiles with whoever wants to come join.


YES YES! There will be a post tour party in Amsterdam with all the crew, close friends, family and fans… so if there’s anyone who would care to join, get right on in touch!


This is a big old Dutch warm up session ready for the US/Canada tour coming up in June where I’ll be playing the world famous NXNE in Toronto and The Living Rooms in NY amongst other grand and wondrous venues of wonderment and grandeur. (I’m rather excited about all this and whenever I think about it, a little bit of wee comes out my no-no place.)


Ooops!!!


Nobody can stop us now people… the pendulum is in motion, the movement is marching forth, all be it with odd socks on... but at least its forwards kids, at least its forwards.


In the words of the Spice Girls:


Colours of the world
Spice up your life
Every boy and every girl
Spice up your life
People of the world
Spice up your life
Aaahh!!!


LOVE EVERYONE!!!
