Spending A Moment with Ian McCalman

Filed Under: Moment

It’s not often you get to meet your heroes and Ian McCalman is one of mine. I wouldn’t have had the career in folk music with out Ian and the McCalman’s. Ian has done so much and is a great interview and I know you will enjoy this. Visit https://mccalmans.bandcamp.com for many great digital releases of The McCalmans.
