Ian Prowse & Amsterdam

Ian Prowse & Amsterdam is a pop, rock and indie concert by the singer-songwriter and guitarist Ian Prowse, who fronts the band Amsterdam. The evening is held at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds.

Ian Prowse is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist, born in Chester in 1964 and active since 1990. Before leading Amsterdam, Prowse was frontman of the indie band Pele, whose first three singles entered the Radio 1 A-List, and whose single Megalomania reached No. 1 in the South African charts. Prowse released the solo album Who Loves Ya Baby in 2014.

Amsterdam's first single, The Journey, reached the UK top 40. One of the band's best-known songs, about Liverpool, moved the broadcaster John Peel to tears live on Radio 1, and it became the centrepiece of Christy Moore's No. 1 album Listen. Prowse names Paul Weller, Mike Scott, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello among the songwriters who shaped the work, and has supported Costello, The Wonder Stuff, The Levellers and The Blow Monkeys. The most recent tour was the Fireworks 30 tour with Amsterdam.

The Brudenell Social Club is a live music venue in Burley, Leeds, that began as a working men's club and mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts. The night suits listeners who follow Merseyside songwriting and the band's catalogue of indie-rock songs.
