Join Brea Gosling for Brea’s Booth with legendary English singer, songwriter and musician, Colin Blunstone. Colin will talk through his hugely successful music career spanning 50 years from his time with The Zombies, his accomplished solo career and extensive touring, along with the many hits he has had through the years.

Colin met his Zombie bandmates at school in St Albans and they swiftly became known worldwide with their hit ‘She’s Not There’. This was the start of three years of touring after which Colin pursued a solo career with huge success. ‘Say You Don’t Mind’ and ‘I Don’t Believe in Miracles’ were two of his much-loved songs produced during this time.

He then signed to Elton John’s record label whilst living in California and producing three critically acclaimed albums- ‘Planes’, ‘Never Even Thought’ and ‘Late Nights in Soho’. Returning to the UK, Colin supplied the vocals for Dave Stewart’s hit version of ‘What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted’ followed by further hits with Smokey Robinson’s ‘Tracks Of My Tears’ and The Alan Parson’s Project’s ‘Old And Wise.

A reunion with his band The Zombies in 2011 saw him tour extensively around the US and UK pleasing many of their die-hard fans with new album ‘Breathe Out, Breathe In’. 2012 saw a new Colin Blunstone solo album release called ‘On The Air Tonight’ which again he toured to promote in the UK. The following years were spent mostly in the USA playing live and undertaking a crowd-funding campaign on Pledge Music before returning to the studio to record a new album released under license to Cherry Red label in the UK and Europe. The Zombies featuring Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent continue to tour in Japan, USA, The Philippines, Spain, France and Great Britain.

Colin went on to tour with his solo band in 2016 and has been busy with this, along with working in the studio on his much-anticipated new album, due out this year.
