Left-field and independent live music promoter

Colour: Unique and intimate live music events based in the West Midlands, showcasing boundary-defying left-field and independent artists. We aim to offer an inviting and experience set apart from the usual gig, so expect live visuals, homemade cakes and DJ sets that compliment what's going on.
Since 2006 Colour has grown from a club night at Quadrant Lounge, Wolverhampton and summer residency at Light House media centre in 2008 to regular events at The Victoria in Birmingham and contributions to events including Flip Animation Festival and Flatpack Film Festival 2009.
WeAreColour.com is our online home, featuring information about what we're up to and passionate outpourings about the music and culture we love.
