I’m honoured and delighted that the music video for my single ‘Within Hindsight’ has been selected for the shortlist for The Weekender’s (Scottish music magazine) ‘Music Video of the Year 2021’.
Thanks to everyone involved in it who simply did a wonderful job. C x
My new single ‘Within Hindsight’ is out now on all digital platforms. Here’s what a few notable people in the industry think:

‘…“Widescreen, elegiac and haunting; a bit like the landscape Clyne calls home..” Joe Whyte (Louder Than War)
‘There’s a beauty within hindsight’ has to be one of the most resonating lines from the Scottish Music Scene within the last year.’ (Alloa Advertiser/The Weekender)

My brand new single ‘Within Hindsight’ is set for Worldwide digital release on Friday the 25th of June through Royale Music via InGrooves (Parent Co, Universal).
I’ll fill you in more on the track, artwork, personnel etc in the coming days leading up to its release.
Please feel free to pre save on iTunes / Spotify etc on the link below.
We are really aiming to get as high in the UK iTunes singer songwriter single charts as possible with this song and hopefully any success in that will contribute further to some quality PR for the single.
I’m very proud of all the work we did on this production! I hope you enjoy it.
Warmest Thanks
Colin

Back in May during the first lockdown, local North East poet Fin Hall came up with a novel idea to while the days away. He asked people to contribute to a poem called ‘Joined Up Writing’. Anyone could contribute to this from novices to hobbyists to published poets and indeed published songwriters. The idea was to use a word from the last line of the previous verse in the first line of your verse and so it went on, ‘Joined Up Writing’. I contributed a verse amongst 100 different voices.
Amazingly, Fin ran with this, secured publishing and it’s now available to purchase on Amazon. Even better, the proceeds of the book are going to Fin’s chosen charity; Willows Animal Sanctuary up in Fraserburgh, Scotland:

So, if anyone fancies adding a wee bit of local collaborative lockdown poetry as a Christmas stocking filler all in the name of charity then please grab a copy at the below link:
Thanks to the wonderful folk over at ‘Alternative Fruit’ for reviewing the new single.
‘…folk inspired melodies wrap around the bars like snugly tied ribbons of character…’
Another lovely review just dropped onto my front door mat regarding the new single.
“… It is a track that I feel fans of both Bob Dylan and John Denver will absolutely love…”
