Ian Parry

Ian Parry is a vocalist and songwriter from Liverpool, England. He formed a band in the late 1970s with guitarist Neil Murray, bassist Colin Hodgkinson, and drummer Ian Mosley. The group performed live and eventually released an album called 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' in 1987, which included the title track and songs like 'A Miracle Is All We Need' and 'As Strangers Walk By.'

That 1987 album appears to be their most recognized work. The band's lineup has included other musicians over time, such as bassist Guy Pratt, guitarist Snowy White, and drummer Gary Wallis. They've released several albums including 'The Division Bell' in 1994 and 'The Endless River' in 2014.

Parry's music draws from progressive rock influences. His songs often feature introspective lyrics and layered arrangements, with titles like 'Asphyxia,' 'Asylum Seekers,' and 'Banquet For Thieves' suggesting a thematic range beyond straightforward rock anthems.
