Unfortunately, the Big Country gigs in Dublin & Belfast (I was due to open) have been pulled due to ill health with the promoter (and friend Charlie Campbell).
My Irish tour will remain and we’ll be working very hard towards finding replacement shows in both Cities.
Sorry for the last minute issues but I’m sure you’ll all join me in wishing Charlie the best in his recovery.
Thanks
Colin
Colin will be heading out on a week long tour round Ireland and Northern Ireland next month. He will be doing some dates with Big Country. Here’s the list of gigs:
Legendary radio presenter Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2) played Doin’ Fine on his Sunday show.
The playback is available here (song is approx. 40 minutes in):

Bob also spoke about Colin’s time on the West Coast of the US and his music after the song played directly after Colin’s. He mentioned that ‘The Never Ending pageant’ was ‘…really very good…’!
High praise indeed.
This comes off the back of some recent BBC 6 Music radio play from Chris Hawkins!!
Thanks from all at CC HQ

The current single ‘I’d Rather Do’ from my album ‘The Never Ending Pageant’ has been getting some BBC airplay down in England (BBC Cumbria) on the ‘Braithwaites Country’ show.
The podcast for 15th Feb 2015 is here:
Delighted to announce that my song ‘Top Of The Mountain’ was named as a finalist in the adult contemporary category of the 2014 UK song writing contest. The judges marked it with a score of 9 out of 10. I also had 8 songs in the semi final and all were well received by the judges.
Although I didn’t win, it was a massive honour to be featured, congratulations to all the winners.
