Colin Vearncombe

From United Kingdom

2001 biography:As the founding member of Black, one of the defining bands of the late 1980s, Vearncombe produced some of the decades most memorable hits like "Wonderful Life", "The Big One", "Here it Comes Again" and many many more.His success as a solo performer has been as prestigious, selling out performances from London’s famed Jazz Café, to South Africa’s Splashy Fen festival.His latest album "The Accused" has been described as "his most satisfying and complete collection of songs to date; an album of great poise and timeless appeal".Womad visitors can look forward to Vearncombe’s poised and intelligent style of pop, which has earned him lasting recognition and the freedom to express his unique and eloquently melancholic musical style, as distinctive as his very voice.
