I have been a fan of Iona since I saw them on a Christian Video show playing "Treasure". Last year when they were in Northern Virginia my sister and I trekked up there and that was one of the best concerts I have been to.

Not having heard of them, I took a chance and purchased the Journey CD... and loved the music since. I now have all the CDs. Having just moved from the "frozen-chosen" New England Christian culture, where Christian radio is little, I'm finding that even few people here in Lancaster county (PA) know this band. They seem to be the best-kept secret around. I wish the radio stations would get off the "grunge" music and play music like Iona's which has both talent and lyrical meaning (a rare combination in the Christian music world). When is Iona playing next in the US mid-Atlantic region?

Beach at the Kempville Presbyterian Church, it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to, and so anointed too. I was in awe watching Terl play his drum kit...I'm gonna miss his style. I hope Frank doesn't change the feel of the songs too much, yes he needs to be himself too...I've been playing drums for 26 years now and I couldn't figure out some of the stuff I was watching with my own eyes that Terl was playing LIVE...talk about "limb independence"... AWESOME. They sounded just like the HBS double CD, Joanne's keyboards were giving a bit of resistance that evening though, if I remember right! I'm looking forward to their newest project...and hers too. God Bless, Roger ---===:::><> Engage! Grafix/Roger out, hailing frequencies closed ---===:::><> Engage! "Roger W.

(I'm from just south of Harrisburg.) Yes, Iona is fairly little known here. They got a little airplay on JTL when the Heaven's Bright Sun came out, but still not lots. Whereabouts in New England did you move away from? > When is Iona playing next in the US mid-Atlantic region? Last I heard they have no plans for US concerts in general for the near future.
