Can you spot Colin? Photo from the 'Buzzcocks' identify parade on the night.
Colin appeared in The Identity Parade round of the show hosted by Mark Lamarr, during which the audience is shown clips of famous anything between 10 and 30 years ago. The teams – who've not seen the clips – have to pick the correct band member from a line up of 5 people – one genuine, and four actors.
Colin was volunteered for his "Never Mind The Buzzcocks" appearance by an acquaintance working at the BBC. "It was enormous fun" he commented after being outed by the team led by Phil Jupitus!
Colin these days is Managing Director of CP Sound, the Staines-based, audio and lighting design and installation company, but still finds time to play bass with The Nashville Teens and The Jackie Lynton Band. His company works at designing, specifying and installing sound and lighting systems across all areas of the commercial entertainment and leisure industries. Colin believes his experience as a musician has been a great advantage and contributor to his success as a Sound Designer and Audio Consultant – whether designing a system for a top restaurant, a major nightclub, an office block or a complex industrial plant.
