Ian Mosley

Who is Ian Mosley?

Ian F. Mosley is the drummer in the neo-progressive rock band Marillion.

Mosley joined the band in 1984 after a long search for a replacement for Mick Pointer, who had left the band in 1983. He was the fifth drummer to play for Marillion and was frontman Fish's choice for the role, having been unhappy with the band's previous drummers. Mosley had previously, among others, played with former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, both on two of his solo studio albums and on tour. He also played on the 1975 album Birds by Dutch band Trace and on fellow Marillion bandmate Pete Trewavas' and Eric Blackwood's Edison's Children album "In The Last Waking Moments...", playing drums on the epic 16 minute "The Awakening". He is still a member of Marillion to this day.
