A much under rated musician and song writer in my opinion. I saw him perform in a small club in Chippenham the early 80’s at the start of his career. He was supporting the Thompson Twins. I was really impressed and sought out some of his early singles in the record shop the next day. I enjoyed his performance as much as the main act but as with many support acts most of the crowd paid no attention. As well as Wonderful Life I also particularly liked another of his songs Everything is coming up roses.

RIP Colin.
