Colin as Wild Bill Hickock in Calamity Jane
Colin began performing at a very young age for various musical societies
throughout Northern Ireland. He was trained by the late vocal coach Paul Nemeer.
Colin has a Diploma in Music and a National Diploma in Performing Arts.
One of Colin’s past achievements was performing in Cavalcade
of Song in the Waterfront Hall featuring Marti Webb. Webb’s Musical
Director was so impressed by Colin’s singing talent he earned himself
an audition in London's West End for a lead role in Les
Misérables in which he gained great experience.
Colin has performed as a soloist on numerous occasions on UTV and BBC1 Television
and has sung along side celebrities such as Westlife, Brian Kennedy, Status
Quo, Lionel Blair and many more.
Colin took a break of over ten years from musical theatre to sing lead for
the Royal Ulster Constabulary Band. He returned in January 2008 and was thrilled
to make his comeback debut playing Wild Bill Hickock in Calamity
Jane at the Grand Opera House, Belfast.
