Colours Run are a Manchester band, and all hail from the area (except for Tim, who comes from Liverpool, a small fishing village near Manchester). They devote themselves to writing and playing music with genuine emotional depth and catchy hooks.
"Could be, and should be, absolutely massive", say www.manchestermusic.co.uk, with "the sort of tunes you could imagine filling stadiums". Their current favourite venue is the Blue Cat Café in Stockport, which is not quite a stadium, but is nevertheless very nice and has a lovely bartender.

Colours Run are currently listening to a lot of Rufus Wainwright and Elbow. Tim would very much like to meet Guy Garvey since he seems like a really sorted bloke who wears great scarvesBand/artist history
I'm Tim Cameron, and I play lead vocals and acoustic guitar.
Dave Green is our lead guitarist, and also plays bass when Paul is too busy being clever.
Paul Robinson (bassist, mostly) also plays keyboards and, when provoked, French Horn.
Our drummer is Trevor Kennedy, the really short-haired guy. Paul's hair is medium length, mine is somewhat dishevelled, and Dave's looks like a small mammoth is hibernating on his head.
Our final lineup came together in 2005 and we haven't looked back.Have you performed in front of an audience?We regularly gig in the North of England. Our best moment would have to be the first gig we every played, since we weren't even supposed to be playing there! We gatecrashed a band night at The Farmer's Arms in Lancaster and said "what do you MEAN we're not on the list!" They let us play, the crowd loved us, the rest is history.
