Ian Prowse is a musician, singer, songwriter who wears his heart on his sleeve and writes straight from the cuff. He’s the frontman of Amsterdam and previously of indie cult band Pele. Thankfully for his fans across the world, it’s all the same thing.Raised on the rallying cry of protest songs, influenced by the Celtic sounds that make Liverpool so unique and inspired by the songwriting craftsmanship of Paul Weller, Mike Scott and Bruce Springsteen, it was no surprise, at the start of the 90s, when the rest of Britain was swaggering along to the baggy sound of The Stone Roses, Ian put together a band that marched to their own beat.
The band split in 1996. Three years later Ian formed Amsterdam.
Amsterdam saw some success with their first single ‘The Journey’ but it’s their song ‘Does This Train Stop on Merseyside?’ that cemented Ian’s place in the hearts of DJs, songwriters and music fans alike.
