My ‘Hidden Talent‘ this week is Ian Osborne

Ian moved to Spain from the UK at the beginning of this year, prior to that he was actively involved in the music scene in Norwich with his band the Osborne Files
Via the wonders of the internet and new ways of recording he has been able to keep in touch and continue to collaborate with former band mates. Which in turn has led to colaborations from around the world.
One of his EPs has contributions from the UK, USA, Germany and an amazing flamenco guitarist from Spain ( who just happens to be Italian).

The track I’ve chosen to play today is called All I Sea: It’s a song based around wordplay and puns, and features vocals from the USA, percussion from the UK, and the rest is Ian
