Ian Donaldson - There Are Days

Ian Donaldson is a singer/songwriter, producer, critically acclaimed author and radio broadcaster responsible for the iconic Top 20 UK Chart hit ‘I Dream to Sleep’ with his Scottish rock band H20, and has career as a successful author.
EARLY DAYS AND H20
Originally studying Art & Design in Glasgow amongst contemporaries such as Edwyn Collins (Orange Juice), Ian began his career in the late seventies, founding H20 with leading music executive and key British music figure Alan McGee (of Creation Records fame).
Debuting in 1978 at a CND Rally in Glasgow as a four-piece, the early H20 consisted of members Neil Clark (Lloyd Cole and the Commotions) and Andrew Innes (Primal Scream).
The band’s indie single Hollywood Dream was released in 1981. RCA Records saw enormous potential and signed the now expanded line up (keyboards and saxophone) in 1982. Hits ‘I Dream to Sleep’, ‘Just Outside of Heaven’, and ‘Blue Diamond’ quickly followed, along with album ‘Faith’ in 1984. Ian also recorded a solo version of the Walker Brothers’ ‘The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore’, showing his unique vocal range. After hearing it, Scott Walker sent Ian a note ‘’I dig your version, Ian. Scott’’ 
SOLO CAREER
Last year saw the release of Ian’s first solo album ‘From Stars We Came’, a bold and imaginative collection of songs, reflecting upon a life lived to the full. Launched at Webster’s Theatre Glasgow, the reaction to ‘From Stars We Came’ was incredibly positive, appealing to H20 fans and new listeners alike.  Recent tours and appearances have showcased a rich set full of classic and modern material, with many successful headline shows.
AUTHORSHIPS AND BOOK FESTIVALS
Ian’s debut novel ‘A Rainbow in the Basement’ was published by Strident Publishing in 2017 and launched at Glasgow’s annual Aye Write Book Festival. It was nominated for the prestigious Saltire First Book Prize. Donn Albright, who worked with legendry US Fantasy Writer Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451) for over 50 years, kindly, wrote the afterward for the book: ‘’This is fine writing that rivals Ray Bradbury at his very best’’. Ian is currently writing his next novel and music album with more festivals and tours planned for 2020.
