Ian F Ball Singer & Musician
Ian F Ball has been playing is bands and performing as a solo artist, on and off, for the last 50 years. Now based in Oldham in the North West of England, Ian's music has been influenced by a wide range of artists from J. S. Bach to Big Bill Broonzy, via Arthur Askey and The Purple Gang, all the way to The Who and Led Zeppelin.
He bought his first guitar aged 14 from Boots the Chemist and was excited to become a singer songwriter. Fast forward half a century or so and he’s finally done it. He’s not been treading water during those years though. Becoming an accomplished Melodeon player Ian self-published a book of tunes in the 90s, ‘One Too Many’. The title tune was picked up by UK based Belshazzar’s Feast and played on track one of their debut album of the same name. Other tunes have been picked up and recorded by bands on both sides of the Atlantic.
He's played in various ceilidh, folk, blues and Americana bands over the years on, guitar, melodeon, harmonica, mandolin, whistle, keyboard and bouzouki, but now concentrates on writing for guitar and melodeon.
"In that long line of minstrels and storytellers, Ian is among those who ensure that we know the stories that would otherwise be lost in time." David Gray, Salford City Radio.
You can listen to Ian's music on Spotify and Bandcamp and all good streaming platforms.
