Iona ac Andy

For over 25 years the married couple from Arfon, Iona and Andy have entertained audiences all over the world, with their wide repertoire of country singing. Born in Nantlle, Iona went to the Normal College, Bangor to train as a teacher before working at Glanwydden Primary School, Waunfawr and then at Eglwysbach. She always sang in her spare time, and that’s how she met Andy from Penmaenmawr. Andy graduated in French from Bangor University, and has worked as trainee manager for Lewis’ at Liverpool, a Boutique Manager at Llandudno and as Relief Manager for Mecca Bookmaker. They met while singing at the old Glanrafon in Bangor, and got married in 1980. From then on they travelled land and sea singing as a duet, and in the early years they travelled up to 35 thousand miles a year around the British Isles, Europe and North America.
