BIOGRAPHY
As a teenager I learnt to play the guitar by jamming along to John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf records. Angst then turned me onto punk, metal and indie music for the best part of a decade. A few years ago, kids came along, life balanced out and a reawakened passion for music resurfaced. This lead to a deep exploration of dub, reggae, jazz, west african rhythms and finally, back to my roots, the blues...
In the last year I have began writing seriously for the first time in 15 years, picking up keys, banjo, uke, saxophone and kora to add to my guitar based tunes. The songs on this page and elsewhere were all recorded in my back kitchen on an old Akai mixing desk to give a warm, home brewed atmosphere...
Below are some links to other sites where you can here more from myself and check out the album. Any feedback on my music would be great and if anyone would like to review my album, that would also be greatly appreciated.. just give me a shout and I'll pass on a promo code for a free download...
All the best,
Colin

"Thank You Colin for your friend request. Yes that Indian Twilight song blew me away when I heard it and I knew I had to do something to get it out there. It was buried deep in a guitar forum and the audio was very thin. Did my best to produce…"
colin crighton commented on Lucca Soria's blog post 'CD Review - Bob Dylan "Tempest"'
"Yes, fantastic, insightful review Lucca! This album to me, has the sound of someone who is comfortable in their own shoes and is doing it for the sheer joy of it. There's a really relaxed feel to the band which is echoed in Bob's…"
colin crighton commented on Barbara Bruederlin's blog post 'CD Review - Band of Horses "Mirage Rock"'
"'Tis a shame to read a review like this... The Horses have been one of my favourite bands of the last few years and unusually, something both me and my wife enjoy! We were looking forward to something new from them but will be a little wary now…"

colin crighton replied to T Hanssen's discussion 'What is your favorite album this week?'
"Not a new album this, but I can't get enough of "House With No Name" by Horse Feathers at the moment... In terms of violins, I've never been a huge fan but they are used so well in this that my head has been turned... Gorgeous…"

Gil said… Thank You Colin for your friend request. Yes that Indian Twilight song blew me away when I heard it and I knew I had to do something to get it out there. It was buried deep in a guitar forum and the audio was very thin. Did my best to produce it and make a video suited for the song. So many songs like that get lost.
