Wooow!!! Joy is a great album. Thanks for sharing this rare jewel of The Skids. Seven years ago I was in Edimburgh and I saw Iona, the island, and I did remember this song.... really thrilling!!!
Oh Iona, winds are blowing Shall I see you home again Oh Iona, I remember Days of beauty, days of pain Oh Iona though divided All my passion I will save Oh Iona undecided Stands by waiting, as I pray Oh Iona, how I miss you Oh my soul cries out for thee Oh Iona, Oh Iona, Oh Iona, stand by me i dont think this is the full version though :S
Bloody good record!

Heard this for the first time after the passing of a very good friend it was played as he was taken into church.
God Bless and Rest In Peace Rob.

One of the few songs that I played three times over when I first heard it. Atmospheric, sheer class - brilliant. I wanna go there!!!

when I have children I'll call one of them Iona probably. mainly because of this song but there are other underlying reasons also.

I chose this for my daughter's name. The great, late John Smith is buried there.

My dad chose it for my name too and he wrote the song so I'm guessing that's why I'm called it but he also loves the island
