Biography

Ian Gilchrist is a musician and part time doctor in Liverpool where he lives with his wife Lucy and their two boys.

His passion for music emerged at the age of 12 when he started to teach himself the piano, moving on to learn flute, guitar and more recently saxophones, recorders and Celtic whistles. He has always been interested in writing music and recording and started off with short soundtracks for dramas and puppet shows, some song writing, and a mini concept work. He performs with friends at social events and cabarets and does the occasional session work, having played sax on albums by Pete Caulfield and Alwyn Wall.

He is an active member of Frontline Church in Liverpool, and plays regularly in the band there. "Journey from Slavery" is Ian's first CD project and with his belief in music as a potential vehicle for healing, this is the fulfilment of a longing to write and record music that has a "therapeutic" edge to it.

His music has been described as refreshing, inspiring, healing and cathartic and many have commented on how they have been deeply touched by what they feel is a spiritual dimension to his playing.
