All of the Above!... and more....with Colin singing different lyrics over different tunes
Based in Teesside and North Yorkshire the Colin Holt Band has built up a reputation for playing original, thoughtful songs with strong lyrics
With roots in folk, pop and jazz the band regularly perform to ever increasing audiences across the region.
In April 2008 the band released their debut album, 'Deep Blue Ocean' to great reviews.
the new album "Reminiscence Deftly Trips", is due for release early Summer 2009.
The new album is a collection of songs based upon Colin's childhood, growing up in Morley near Leeds
Three songs are featured here . (See blogs for Colin's musings about the backgrounds to the songs featured)
I don't want to be redundent but Long Grass is a true classic. I know I mentioned the song last time but wow! Thanks for all your support and I will see you on the other side.
greetings to you! glad you like me tunes! Like A River is gorgeous, and I like your very varied styles! hope you have a wonderful weekend - go well, with mirth and music
I have to say it is weird having a Service Manager singing down the computer to me. I am, though, very impressed mate. Not my usual cup of tea, but I like your tunes very much.

Lol you and me both! Funny how paths cross over the years and even funnier how I remembered you! I have trouble remembering last week half the time. I have had the CD on in the car - but John hasn't had a listen as yet and he is the reviewer! We have half a dozen to do this coming weekend so we will get it up asap. I loved it - right up my street.
Hey we just uploaded our newest videos to our you tube chanel at
www.youtube.com/cappuccinohonduras we would really like you to check them out and let us know what you think.
Hi Colin!Many thanks for the comment and kind words! My best wishes! Fine spring and excellent mood! Successes in all affairs and happiness in a family! Yours faithfully! Otto
Thanks for stopping by and listening!! You’re exactly the type of person I write music for and it’s good to see that there are like minded people out there, “YOU ROCK“! I hope this day is finding you well and feel free to stop by anytime!
Sometime soon be sure to check out some new tunes by MagellanMusic. Their new album just came out and man it's terrific. If you dig the Alan Parsons/Pink Floyd kind of groove this is it. Peace be with you!
