For the last ten years Ian has spent most of his time as a professional artist, with some modest success. He has also preyed on unsuspecting audiences as a crooner, singing Sinatra classics in cabaret and at dinner dances etc. His earlier career was in construction, preceded by a short time in the Merchant Navy before studying civil engineering at university.
