In 2001 Ian released a solo album, Postmankind, in collaboration with saxophonist Ben Castle. The album also features performances by other Marillos Pete Trewavas and Steve Rothery.
In 1996, Ian teamed up with French guitarist Sylvain Gouvernaire to form the band Iris (also featuring Pete Trewavas on bass) to record the instrumental album Crossing the Desert.
Prior to joining Marillion in 1984, Ian had toured extensively with ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett from 1980 to 1984, as well as appearing on several of Steve's albums, including Highly Strung, Till We Have Faces, Time Lapse Live, and Feedback.
Ian has also worked with many other artists such as the Gordon Giltrap Band, Manfred Mann, Darryl Way's Wolf, and Trace.
Before joining the world of rock-and-roll, Ian played in the orchestra for the musical "Hair" and later developed a distinct hatred for Andrew Lloyd Webber, also playing drums for "Jesus Christ Superstar" - both in London's West End.

H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

"It is difficult not to believe that the next year will be better than the old one! And this illusion is not wrong. Future is always good, no matter what happens. It will always give us what we need and what we want in secret. It will always bless us with right gifts. Thus in a deeper sense our belief in the New Year cannot deceive us". Kersti Bergroth (1886-1975), Finnish writer and playwright
