Master storyteller. Troubadour. Colin hay is that rare combination of deep intellect and pure heart.

Their first album Business as Usual spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on the US Billboard chart and delivered the band the Best New Artist - Grammy award in 1982 - beating out The Human League and Stray Cats. Since that time Colin has released 13 solo albums, and has toured the globe countless times performing his intimate live solo shows, which are the stuff of legend.
