Turn It Up ~ Let’s Rock!
When the needle drops and the slap-back echo kicks in, you know you’re in safe hands. Ian Bell doesn’t just play Rock ’n’ Roll — he lived it.
From ten years touring Europe and Scandinavia as bass player with Johnny and the Roccos, to twenty-three years on the road with Rockin’ Horse alongside George Inglis, Ian has shared stages with the American pioneers who shaped modern music.
Now, he brings that same authenticity, energy and joy to TD1 Radio — because Rock ’n’ Roll isn’t nostalgia… it’s a celebration.
