The band were named after the Scottish island of Iona, which holds significant historical and spiritual importance, particularly in the context of early Christianity in Britain. Iona's music is characterised by its unique blend of progressive rock, folk, and Celtic influences, creating a sound that is both intricate and evocative.

Their live performances were known for their energy and spiritual depth, often described as transcendent experiences by fans. Despite being relatively under the radar in mainstream music circles, Iona has had a significant impact on the progressive and Celtic music scenes, influencing a wide range of artists and earning critical acclaim for their innovative approach to blending genres.

Beginning with a short series of live dates in the UK late that year, it soon became apparent that the collision of the traditional, the atmospheric and the epic was shaping into something new and exciting. The space allowed by the stripped down duo format suddenly gave room for these two musicians to experiment and improvise in a way not possible within the more tightly arranged band line up of Iona.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoon Troy and Dave were putting together tracks for their first duo album When World's Collide, when work on the project was interrupted by an opportunity that seemed too good to pass over. The two musicians take up the story: \"When Rob Ayling of Voiceprint called us with the idea of playing in Lincoln Cathedral we were both immediately enthusiastic about the sonic possibilities of performing in such a huge, reverberant space. And not just any space - but one contained in this most beautiful and ancient of buildings. With no music pre-prepared, just an idea of which instruments we might play, we decided from the outset to reverently seek our inspiration from our surroundings and the cathedral's acoustics, so that the music would, in some way become part of the building and aspire, for the seventy minutes or so that we played without a break, to something beyond ourselves.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the tragic death in a car crash of Dave Williams, Troy's dear friend and pipe- and whistle-maker occurring only a week before the recording, the occasion took on an added poignancy. It became Troy's heartfelt tribute to his friend and a reminder of the thinness of the veil that separates us from the eternal. The event took place on the evening of 27th October 2004 and the unique atmosphere captured on the recording was certainly enhanced by the fact that the vast cathedral was empty save for the two musicians and the sound and film crew. Dave and Troy were both thrilled with the results of this recording, which is present to the listener (apart from a few short cuts due to a technical fault) exactly as it happened, with no repairs or overdubs interrupting their concentrated flow of ideas. Even Lincoln Cathedral clock makes a timely and atmospheric addition to one track!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recording was literally 'choreographed' by Dallas Simpson who is an expert in a recording technique called binaural, which gives a fantastic sense of movement and involvement within a recording (particularly when listened to on headphones). Dallas was really excited with the prospect of recording Troy and Dave's music, which he thought was ideal to demonstrate the effectiveness and depth of binaural recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the duo played, Dallas, wearing his binaural headset microphones (and some very warm-looking white woolly socks to minimise noise from the stone-flagged floor), choreographed his movements to the music, almost like a conductor following a score.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe resulting sound is very dynamic, with Dave's keyboards and electric guitar and bouzouki loops swirling around and sounding much more organic and alive than on a conventional recording. And as the perspective shifts around, Troy's pipes and whistles at once sound close and intimate, and then far away and distant, as though becoming part of the cathedral itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracks: FROM SILENCE 1 (9.45) FROM SILENCE 2 (6.15) FROM SILENCE 3 (15.51) FROM SILENCE 4 (9.04) FROM SILENCE 5 (9.44) FROM SILENCE 6 (5.35)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Sky Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51664293691705,"sku":"OSR-293429","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/9436\/7801\/files\/OSR_FromSilenceCD.png?v=1785525401"},{"product_id":"dave-brainbridge-david-fitzgerald-with-david-adam-the-eye-of-the-eagle-dvd","title":"Dave Brainbridge, David Fitzgerald with David Adam: The Eye Of The Eagle DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautifully filmed by Anglia TV and originally released on video in 1999, this dvd documents the sold out premier performance in Norwich Cathedral of this significant work by Iona co-founders David Fitzgerald and Dave Bainbridge.

If there's anything that Open Sky plugs into it’s that feeling of endless horizon and a certain mood of longing. Donockley's own near classical solo album of last year held a similar atmosphere and here it's expanded with slices of exuberant pipe reeling like Castlerigg, or the plaintive harp of guest Billy Jackson as well as Joanne's hymnal vocal that sweeps all before it in eternal waves. In fact the core of the album is a theme which tries to reconcile the natural, spiritual and actual, no small task, but producer Bainbridge along with the assured hands of Calum Malcolm and Nigel Palmer have a fair stab.

If there's anything that Open Sky plugs into it’s that feeling of endless horizon and a certain mood of longing. Donockley's own near classical solo album of last year held a similar atmosphere and here it's expanded with slices of exuberant pipe reeling like Castlerigg, or the plaintive harp of guest Billy Jackson as well as Joanne's hymnal vocal that sweeps all before it in eternal waves. In fact the core of the album is a theme which tries to reconcile the natural, spiritual and actual, no small task, but producer Bainbridge along with the assured hands of Calum Malcolm and Nigel Palmer have a fair stab.
