Balloon

Tour starts Thursday! Shame I can’t bring the Gas ‘n’ Air band over from Mexico, but the Balloon acoustic trio is sounding equally fab, plus there’s @timkeegan.bsky.social and @dannythechamp.bsky.social to enjoy. Londons sold out but tickets for other shows via the bio or linktr.ee/balloontheband

“A band called Balloon”? Humph. The kids these days know nothing 😂😂😂 www.theguardian.com/music/2026/f...

Really looking forward to catching a couple of shows on this tour. If you don't know Balloon's wonderful music, then check out some tracks from 1992's Gravity LP here

And we’re coming to Brighton to play ! March 10 at the Folklore Rooms.

I've just listened to the album Gas'n'Air by Balloon @ianfromballoon.bsky.social twice in succession and I can share my conclusions that it is absolutely beautiful. That is all 🙃

Aw shucks thanks ☺️

On tour with @timkeegan.bsky.social. Tickets here: linktr.ee/balloontheband

Still the best version of this 😍

Just spotted that there are still tickets available for @ianfromballoon.bsky.social's Brighton gig at The Folklore Rooms. It's bound to be special. Ian's songs are several rungs up from jaw-dropping. Ticket link: www.tickettailor.com/events/ballo...

Massive thanks to Pete Jones at Radio Reverb for the spin and the plug for the Balloon show at Brighton Folklore Rooms on March 10. I’ll be joined by Tim Keegan. It’s gonna be fab. Tickets in the bio. 🙌

Forty years ago, my mum started what has become one of the leading agencies for those battling addiction. She wrote a book about it. Me, I poured the experience into song. The book will be available at Balloon shows in March. It’ll be an emotional ride. Get on board. linktr.ee/balloontheband

#WeekendSingles Morning Wonder by The Earlies and Straight to the One by Balloon were my most played tunes on Spotify this year. They’re both on my Turn of the Millennium playlist of great songs from 1995-2005

Very sad to say that my old pal Phil Vinall has just died. I'll write more about Phil at somepoint - in the meantime here's a nice piece by Ian from Balloon. Rest in Noise Phil, dear friend.
