Wife pays tribute to Edinburgh musician who was 'sweetest' husband

A musician from Edinburgh described as the 'sweetest' husband by his wife has died after a long battle with dementia.

Ian Barinson, 69 moved to the capital with his family when he was nine years old and went on to have an impressive music career in bands East West, Pilot and the Alan Parsons Project.

The musician attended Heriots before launching his music career and performed with various bands from the 1960s and was still playing until a few years ago when he made an appearance at the Spiegeltent at the Edinburgh Festival.
