Mon 14th The Luminaire presents COLIN MACINTYRE [Mull Historical Society] + Gavin Thorpe + Actual Boy
Doors 7.30 “A pure pop nugget. All hail Colin!" [NME] "Macintyre gets emotional without losing his sense of humor, with a sharp ear for melody. A hit.” [Rolling Stone] Colin MacIntyre, AKA Mull Historical Society, the songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, has released 3 highly acclaimed albums under that most recognisable pseudonym, and has achieved 4 top 40 UK Chart hits and 2 Top 20 UK Chart albums. "A warm and welcoming album." [The Independent] "Macintyre is full of epic expectations, whimsical choruses and love." [The Guardian] Having dropped the 'Mull' moniker, he'll be releasing his 4th album 'The Water' under his own name, though it doesn't represent any artistic changes for Colin. "A bonkers master stroke." [Mojo] 'Its important for me that my fanbase realises that nothing has changed here on a creative front. They are still The Society and I'm still from Mull. By dropping the MHS name I've not suddenly gone solo I already was solo. What I'm doing, by changing to my own name, is part of the continuation of my creative journey, and I wont be doing anything differently from the way Ive operated before, except that I think this change will help me grow more as an artist. "A great album…melodies with the sticking power of industrial strength Velcro.” [Time Out] “Classic pop. Macintyre writes and sings with utter conviction about the things that matter most." [Daily Telegraph] "His most ambitious and deeply-felt album to date." [The Times] "His third and effortlessly best album. Sonically ambitous pop that reaches near perfection." [Observer Music Monthly] Main support is Gavin Thorpe. More on him soon. Opening is Actual Boy; lo-fi acoustic guitars combined with beat-box tape recorder drums and the catchiest choruses this side of the McFly. Add to that a whole load of contempt towards people he doesn't like anymore and you've a particularly refereshing approach to playing live.
"Superb stuff, just beautiful." [Hubgigs.co.uk]
