God it's been ages since I listened to this guy!

From Colin Macintyre:

Dear All

Spring is here in London and we can all at once let go of winter's tail. Phew...thank f**k thats over!

I could write a load about a load but basics are that i have been anything but hibernating and the music is at last taking flight and taking off (when do you stop this metaphor now you're on it?!). I'm now finishing the album and i have a new single and a tour to offer you before we all go up in smoke and begin again (with single number 2..). There are a few guest appearances on the album...i've been taking my tape recorder to some new places..

Tour dates are listed below. I want you to hear it first here. I think a few of you got word before i got to you though.. cant wait to get new music out there. Possibly more dates to be added. But I will be doing more through the summer and as the year goes on, so i'll get to all of you.

It feels a bit like re-igniting a light saber and waving it at bats that have been circling around my head. Actually, when i started typing that it felt really nothing at all like that, but now it's beginning to and it feels good.

The single is called 'Stalker' - some of you in Glasgow & London who were there in December may remember it.

Also, this website will be undergoing a facelift for Spring cleaning purposes by chief duster Mark Fraser, it'll have new features in advance of all this LONG overdue action and the small matter of a new album 'The Water'. And all you need to know about the sinlge. Any ideas for it?? Included will be podcasts of my Grandfather reading his published poetry from a bank tower in Tobermory.

More news coming v soon..

Never been in the Cabaret Voltaire, but Oran Mor is an AMAAAAAAZING wee venue. Awwww, I wanna goooooo. :(

It's in may, so there's time to save. I'm thinking about booking tickets on friday when I get paid. In fact, sod it, I'm gonna do it. I can get you one and you can give me the money some other time (or just put me up on a sofa for the night :LOL:)

Hah, my shitty student flat has no sofa, so I'd be giving you the money if I do... How much are the tickets, cos I'm soooo tempted?

Hang on, I'll go have a look.

[Chizzleface]

The cabaret voltaire has tickets showing at £9 but I can't see prices for anywhere else. I'd guess they'll be similar, seems like good value.

Of course, I might try and sweet talk some press passes as part of my idle talk duties :D

Yeah, they'll all be around the £8.50 - £9.50 mark then. Glasgow is easier than Edinburgh as regards getting back and stuff. Ooooh, I'm so tempted...


Haha, I've still got reviews sitting here for Idle Talk. I'm so unreliable thanks to all this damned uni work. :( :$

Well if i'm going i'll probs be driving so I don't mind giving you a lift into glasgow and back.

I must remember to book more time off work for this one :LOL:

Oh god no, I'd never ever ask you to do that. A train from here to Glasgow is only like £6 return, and it only takes 40 minutes. Takes well longer to drive it. I'd meet you for it cos it saves you so much hassle.

You sure? I wouldn't mind, be safer than a train, specially late at night.

[Caro]

Honest. I've done the last train at ten to midnight by myself before loads of times. ;)
Stirling is SOOOOO out of your way that it would a crazy waste of petrol when it's so easy to hop in a train and then get a taxi from the train station to my flat for £3.

I stayed in the centre of stirling when I did an office clearing job in wick :happy:

Didn't get to see much of it though :LOL:

That's such a shame, cos it's such a cute little city, with a few really nice little bars and eating places. And the castle. :happy:

And shopping. Great, fabulous, amazing shopping. :happy:

Yeah, I'll have to come up sometime, I love scotland <3

Wick was gorgeous, as was Ullapool when I went there. That road to get to it's mad though, it's a proper rally road!

That's just a normal road in Scottish terms. :happy: Some of the roads round my village back home are rediculous. I love wee twirly roads. :happy:

They're my favourite types, but not in a fully loaded van :LOL:

Even the car I have now couldn't handle them, the suspension would give up!

[Chizzleface]

The tickets for oran mor have just gone up on aloud. £10 each :happy:

I'll buy them tomorrow once I've been paid.

[Chizzleface]

ACE!!!!!!!!!

I recommend that anyone who likes a rocking show, with cracking tunes and some inane banter goes to see Colin whenever they can, He's playing London next week so don't miss the chance :D

[Chizzleface]

Oran Mor again, Feb 08 :D

£12.50 for tickets this time.

[Chizzleface]

Haha, I'm the only one who posts in here then :LOL:

Colin was once again ace, and only slightly less forgetful than last time! Stalker, Famous For Being Famous and an impromptu I Tried were my highlights. Apparently he'll be touring again in April, I'm so there :happy:

[Muttley]

I lost track of them after the second album.

Final Arrears is still a choon after all these years. :happy:

This Is Hope is an even better album, and he's just released his 4th album today...couldn't get it today though, no chance because of having to look after the shop :indiff:

I'll get it on friday :D

[Zaphod Chizzlebrox]

New Colin album out in July :D

Tour in autumn, so I shall be looking out for that one :happy:

[Zaphod Chizzlebrox]

Heh, will I get done for spamming this thread? :p

Listening to some of the newer songs now, they definitely have a much more mellowed out, acoustic feel to them which is a change from the songs off The Water, and heading back towards what Colin used to release, as in quirky little pop records :happy:

Quite a summery feeling song...reminds me ever so slightly of Dodgy in places :happy:
