Ian Prowse

Ian Prowse & Amsterdam announce their biggest ever tour to celebrate brand new album 'No Names' which will be released this June. One of the UK's most thrilling live acts, the 6-piece band will be playing all of your favourite Pele, Amsterdam & Prowsey tunes along with brand new songs. Merseyside hero Ian Prowse is a guitarist, singer-songwriter, and frontman of Amsterdam and previously the frontman of indie cult band Pele. Raised on protest songs, influenced by the Celtic sounds that make Liverpool so unique, and inspired by the song writing craftsmanship of Paul Weller, Mike Scott, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello, Ian's 30-year song writing career and 100% committed live shows have gathered him a reputation as the 'Scouse Springsteen' amongst his devoted fans. Amsterdam saw success with their first single 'The Journey' hitting the UK top 40, but it's their song 'Does This Train Stop on Merseyside?' which reduced John Peel to tears live on Radio 1 because of its connection with Liverpool, the city he loved, as well as being the centrepiece of Irish legends Christy Moore's No.1 album 'Listen'. Pele's first 3 singles stormed the Radio 1 A-List with Megalomania reaching No.1 in the South Africa charts.
