About Colin

Colin has been a musician since he was just 8 years old, when he started out playing the snare drum in the Neilston & District Pipe Band, where he took part in various gigs and competitions throughout Scotland and Europe.

His talents are not limited to the snare drum however, in addition Colin plays many other instruments including; drum kit, percussion, Bodhran, bass guitar, electric and acoustic guitars, to name but a few - he has played various instruments in a few different bands over the years - but his passion lies with the drums !

For the last 5 years Colin has been playing drum kit with 'das contras' a Latin funk band, 'the Gus Munro band' a blues band, and other traditional Scottish folk bands, along with artists such as Paul McKenna and Finlay MacDonald.  Of course, Colin has now taken up the position as Albannach's new lead drummer !

When he is not playing music, Colin goes swimming and enjoys a spot of fishing now and again, he also has a passion for motorbikes.
