"I first sang in a folk club in the 1960s in The Glasgow Folk Centre. It was an exciting time to be around the folk scene and, 30 years later, it still is. After years of motley musical moments with albums, songbooks, plays, performances and collaborations, notably with Ian Bruce and Setanta, yet another turn on the road has emerged with this new collection of songs 'We Come To Sing'.
"The Ian Walker Band" (not my idea... I was outvoted!) has evolved at a gentle pace over the past few years. Our first album as a Band 'Just One More Chorus', was released in 2017. This new album has been delayed due to the Covid pandemic in 2020/21." Ian Walker 2023.
