Beyond These Shores is a progressive rock album by Iona, released in 1993. Beyond These Shores is largely based on the story of St. Brendan's voyage. Brendan and a company of monks sailed from Ireland in a leather and wood boat in the sixth century to 'the promised land' which many believe to be America.
This time the majority of the recording was at: The Cutting Rooms, Manchester - (Engineer Nigel Palmer) with only additional work done at Moles Studio, Bath St. Anne's Church, Manchester - (recording of the Piano)
The recording was remastered for the 2002 release The River Flows: Anthology and later re-released on Open Sky Records as a standalone album.
