Edwyn Collins: General Info

Member Since	5/28/2006
Band Website	edwyncollins.com
Band Members	This is Edwyn's own MySpace, organised for him by his son Will. Edwyn Collins was born in Edinburgh. He grew up in Dundee and moved to Glasgow at 14. When he was 16, he sold his stamp collection to buy a cheap Burns guitar and an amp. Having taught himself to play, he formed a punk rock band with some schoolmates which he named after the guitar, the NuSonics. This group became Orange Juice, the first act on the famous Postcard Records of Scotland label, which Edwyn founded with the jumped up little Scotsman, Alan Horne. Postcard was small but perfectly formed, burned brightly for a short time. Orange Juice had a longer life and some notable successes, but they too gave up the ghost in 1985. That's a very long time ago. Since then Edwyn has enjoyed a long and varied solo career. One of the highs was when he had a runaway global killer hit in 1995 with a song called "A Girl Like You." Altogether, not counting compilations and "best of" albums, Edwyn and Orange Juice have released nine albums, most of which he has produced himself. 2005 was a pretty terrible year for Edwyn and his family. In February Edwyn suffered a very serious cerebral haemorrhage and after brain surgery, spent six months in hospital. He's doing much better now and continues the fight to recover all his former powers. Until Will showed him, Edwyn had never heard of MySpace. Now it's part of his therapy.

Bellamy's Socket	Jul 3 2009 11:08 AM Thank you for accepting! That's horrible, I hope you're doing fine in that case. Your work with the guitar in the past has been amazing, anyway. And you have an amazing voice, too :) It's been a pleasure speaking to you :) xx
alex	Jul 3 2009 11:07 AM dear edwyn collins, i am a boy from and am trying to start a wee free fanzine and was wondering if you would do an e-mail interview for it, jsut a little one. or if it where possible to use one of your illustrations for the front cover. i would very much like you to be in it as you are someone from edinburgh who started something original and the magazine is looking at new music that is interesting and hopefully alot from edinburgh and will inspire people from edinburgh to start their own bands and have all the fun in doing it. anyway, thank you alex
