Colin Pitts is a masterful singer-songwriter whose warm, reflective songs and gentle humour have made him a cherished presence on the UK folk scene for decades. First performing in Swansea folk clubs in the late 1960s, Colin became a well-known figure in Midlands folk circles throughout the 1970s before re-emerging in the 1990s with a rich catalogue of original material.
His songs—witty, poignant, and disarmingly honest—often linger long after the final chord, with titles like Looking for England, Australian Wine, Let Her Lie and Nailer’s Row now frequently covered by others. In fact, one of his most loved songs was recently mistaken for a traditional folk piece—testament to the timeless quality of his writing.
Despite a serious illness that limited live appearances for a time, Colin continued to write, and now performs with renewed energy and his trademark intimacy. He’s graced stages across the UK, from folk clubs and village halls to festivals and national radio, including BBC Radio 2.
With a new album on the way and songs like Halfway Round the World resonating with today’s global concerns, Colin Pitts remains as relevant, insightful, and warmly entertaining as ever. Don’t miss this rare chance to catch a true craftsman live at Bromyard.
