Colin learned to play the banjo, clawhammer style, during the pandemic.

He learned from Evie Ladin and Tom Collins on Patreon and watched educational videos by Hilary Hawke, Banjo Jen, Mandy at Banjo Lemonade and Hilarie Burhans.

All exceptional educators and players and each had their own little tips and tricks to get him through the learning process.  

Drop Thumbs – Not Bombs!

Over the winter of 2023/4, he discovered the KO-33! by Teenage Engineering, a micro sampler and drum machine that fits in your pocket.

Realising that he could now create full tracks with this wee machine and a microphone pointing at his Banjo, Colin got started turning his banjo jams into tracks with beats and chops.

His debut instrumental ‘Becca, Drop It’ is out on August 24th 2024 followed very shortly by ‘Hey, Dougie’, both tunes inspired by the two labradors in his life.

Special thanks to DISTROKID for being an awesome platform for helping us release these tracks to the world via the streaming services.
