an (SPEEDO) ilson joined Flash Harry in 1994 and can really do the business when it comes to putting over the sounds Brian May is so well known for while still managing to retain his own style and personality.

an got his nickname 'Speedo' years ago for learning a complete set of songs within three days. He is renowned in his native country as one of the finest guitarists around and once you’ve seen him play you’ll understand why. Def Leppard's guitarist Vivian Campbell is amongst one of his many guitar playing buddies and both Ian and Vivien played with Sweet Savage who toured with Thin Lizzy in Ireland and the UK and played support to many of the major acts who visited Belfast, such as Ozzy Ozbourne and Motorhead.

A connoisseur of fine lagers, Speedo has the mix right, play hard and party hard. If the Oxford English Dictionary had a definition of ‘Rocker’ it would say see Speedo Wilson - who could argue with that?

peedo has written loads of his own songs over the years and if you would like to hear any of his stuff you can visit his web site at: www.kelmel.co.uk
