Tassie! Which Iona are you hearing on Highlander Radio? I have yet to hear them.......boo hoo. Are you hearing the Celtic Christian praise band or another Iona group.............and from where? Let me know!
The mystery is solved! The group in the playlist is IONA, the Celtic more-or-less trad group. They are based in northern Virginia, near DC. The lead singer is Barbara Ryan. They will be in Hampton Va this weekend, and I'm going to be helping with setup and working the gate..... wonder how much music I'll actually get to hear?

If age is a learning experience, I should be a genius by now...
Oh thank you, 3 Ravens! I actually heard Iona today and knew right away they were not the Christian Celtic praise group. But I absolutely loved their music! wow! I plan to get their CD as I loved what I heard so much.
wonderful for you 3 Ravens! What a great experience and you get to be with the wonderful band. Let us know all about the evening, ok? when does this all occur? Have fun and keep us posted!
Yeah, I saw their picture yesterday, and its definitly not the Christian group. Boo Hoo. However I have yet to hear anything from THIS Iona! Are they good?

Request something of theirs and judge for yourself, Allen! I think they are fantastic, but I may be a *little* biased because they are friends of mine.....
Very excited tonight to hear from the Celtic Music group IONA! I have seen them in concert many times and they put on a wonderful show. Especially their circle dance is always a favorite with the kids.
I remember they even have a few Celtic Dancers that come along with the shows.
Looking forward to receiving their CD's and we will get them up on the broadcast ASAP!
Which IONA, are you talking about? The Christian New Age group or the local to Washington D.C. group with Barbara Ryan. It sounds like you are talking about the local to Washington D.C. group, starring Barbara Ryan. I love both bands! IONA is best known at the Potomac Celtic Festival. Barbara Ryan, the lead singer is the one in charge of the festival. I once volunteered for the Potomac Celtic Festival and she was my boss! I plan on taking my boyfriend in June to the Potomac Celtic Festival. I'll have to let him see them too! Aye!

I've got Open Sky in my New Age collection on the recommendation of a Hastings employee. Granted not my A 100 favorite, but I certainly don't regret the purchase Looking forward to hearing them here. Good music
I see you're talking about the New Age group. I love Journey to the Mourn. There is also a local Mid Atlanitc group called Iona, whose leader is Barbara Ryan. I believe the starter of this thread was referring to the Mid Atlantic, local to Washington D.C. group. I can understand how people can get the two Iona groups confused. I love em both!
I'm not sure where the band is from (though I believe they are Irish), but I know that the singer's name is Joanna Hogg. I like Iona too and look forward to hearing more of their music! Thanks Mac!
Aye! You're talking about the New Age Christian Group! I love Journey to the Mourn and Woven Cord as well as Open Sky. Aye!
And if you get a chance, the Christian CD that she released with Christian artist Margaret Becker and Clannad's Máire Brennan, called In Christ Alone, is excellent too IMHO!
Wow! I'll have to check it out! Maybe I-Tunes has it!
OK guys, back up 20 and punt! Are we talking Iona, the Christian praise group, or Iona, the Celtic trad group? My money is on the latter, given this site...... If so, the lead singer is Barbara Ryan, and she is a super nice person. They are based outside of Washington, DC.
Aye! You got it right! I think both are great! I was wondering the same thing. I know. it's easy to get the two confused.
Oh oh! I don't know! I assumed it was the Christian praise group with Joanne Hoag! I wasn't aware there was another IONA. Thanks 3Ravens for educating me! I am very anxious to know now!
Hey Celtic Rose. The link you gave was actually to the other IONA, the one local to Washington D.C. starring Barbara Ryan.
Oops! I wasn't aware that there was another band called Iona either! MacFive, can you clarify this one for us? Which Iona is it? (I fear 3Ravens is right, but the other Iona is good too! )
Agreed! They are both good!
