Ian K Brown

Ian is a Northumberland based singer/songwriter guitarist who has sung, played guitar and performed from his teenage years.

He has three albums of songs, ‘Dancing with Shadows’ – produced by Rick Kemp (Steeleye Span’s Bass man) in 2001, ‘Rough Around the Edges’ – 2008 and ‘One Voice One Guitar’ – 2018.

He played regularly with Newcastle’s Tenth Avenue Band at festivals in England, Ireland and Germany before returning to solo artist. He has since become a feature at many festivals playing as a solo performer and developing a reputation for his ukulele workshops.

As a ‘Man of Kent’ he always looks forward to returning to his home county for the wonderful Broadstairs Folk Week and having a lot of fun with ukuleles.

If you have a ukulele, bring it with you for the workshops and the ukulele performance which will be amazing.
