"Probably the most quintessentially English pop voice of it's generation", The Times

"Colin Blunstone's voice is one of the greatest British vocal sounds of the 20th. Century", The Evening Standard

"Colin Blunstone's solo oeuvre seems more relevant today than ever, by turns breathy, ethereal and operatic" Billboard

Nobody sings like Colin Blunstone, the mild mannered man from St.Albans, who became one of Britain's most respected and popular vocalists. Lead singer with The Zombies his distinctive voice manages to be both sweetly angelic and deceptively strong and was a key element of the bands sound. Now Colin takes a short break from the iconic Zombies to tour with his fabulous solo band featuring songs from his fifty year musical career from "She's Not There" with The Zombies, to solo hits "I Don't Believe In Miracles" and "Say You Don't Mind" and on to "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" with Dave Stewart and the unforgettable "Old and Wise" with the Alan Parsons Project.

Several slightly more obscure tracks will be played live for the first time along with a selection from his brand new album now being recorded under the working title of "On The Air Tonight". Pete Billington leads the solo band on keyboards ( Jamie Cullum, Alison Moyet and Kid Creole) with Chris Childs on bass ( Thunder, Go West, Beverly Craven), Pat Illingworth on Drums ( Dave Stewart, Jeff Berlin, Hugh Masekela) and Tom Toomey on guitar (Zombies, Toomey Swarbrick).

Not to be missed an evening of music and history with a master entertainer!
