Ian Gomm : HOLD ON

As a member of Brinsley Schwarz, a pub rock band, Ian Gomm was named "Best Rhythm Guitarist" by New Music Express in 1971.

HOLD ON is the single from Ian's first solo album, Summer Holiday. It reached No. 18 in the United States, and No. 44 in Canada in 1979. HOLD ON has since been featured as bumper music on the radio show Coast to Coast AM.

That same year, Ian co-wrote the song CRUEL TO BE KIND with Nick Lowe. Nick's 1979 recording of the track reached No. 12 on all three of the UK Singles Chart, the Australian Kent Music Report and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
