Colin is on the pod as we discuss his journey from the islands of Scotland to supporting The Strokes on their first UK tour and much more.

Colin MacIntyre AKA Mull Historical Society releases a new album on May 29th. It is his 10th LP and the second in his collaborative author series following on from previous record “In My Mind There’s A Room” in 2023. This brand new collection of songs, “In My Mind There’s A Photograph’, will feature lyrical contributions from a panoply of world-leading authors, all of whom were asked to reflect on a single significant photo to them. With Colin playing the ‘Elton to their Bernie', coupling his musical idiosyncrasies to their affecting words, together they have created 12 songs of vivid photographic realisation and a very real emotional resonance.

The author collaborators on ‘In My Mind There’s A Photograph’ are best-sellers, Pulitzer, Booker, Costa, Women's Prize & Saltire Award-winners, including: Irvine Welsh, Sir Alexander McCall Smith, Dan Richards, Ali Smith, Len Pennie, Jehan Bseiso, Louise Welsh, Irenosen Okojie, Paul Lynch, Colum McCann, Yiyun Lee & Alan Johnson.

Alongside the album’s release in May, 2026 finds Colin in the most creative and prolific form of his career. An established author in his own right, MacIntyre's fifth book, and the second in his Mull Mysteries Crime series, ‘An Island Burning’, came out in April on Black & White Publishing/Bonnier Books. 

Elsewhere, his multi-genre musical, ‘Culloden’, for which he has written the script, book and music, also goes into pre-production this year. 

Plus, with the 25th anniversary of his Gold-selling, album-of-the-year-polls-topper, debut ‘Loss’ coming around, expect further news on some special anniversary plans…

In the meantime, to support the release of “In My Mind There’s A Photograph” and his new novel - Colin recently announced “An Evening With…” tour, which will include songs, stories, readings and Q&A with special guests as follows:

Daniel Dylan Wray on his anticipated first book, Groovy, Laidback & Nasty, the first ever authoritative history of Sheffield music (out today!).

Exhaustively researched and spanning almost seven decades, Groovy, Laidback and Nasty features over 150 new interviews with the likes of Richard Hawley, Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Rebecca Lucy Taylor (Self Esteem), The Human League, ABC and Cabaret Voltaire – along with countless others.

The book also delves deep into many of Sheffield's far-reaching cultural roots; from Peter Stringfellow's wild years as a club promoter in the 1960s to Toddla T's teenage breakthrough in the late 2000s, via Warp records, FON and seminal nightclubs such as Jive Turkey, Niche and Gatecrasher, as well as the noughties' so-called ‘New Yorkshire’ movement, a controversial rave-meets-religion movement turned cult, and a whole host of stories spanning worldwide pop stardom through to more underground, DIY and leftfield musical excursions.

Daniel Dylan Wray is a music and culture writer who lives in Sheffield. Primarily writing for the Guardian, he has also written for outlets including the BBC, Pitchfork, The Independent, The Times, New Statesman, Uncut, The Quietus and countless others. Groovy, Laidback and Nasty is his first book.

On this show I was joined by creative consultant Scott Jones who was responsible for putting together some of the 00s most iconic album covers and artwork, including Arctic Monkeys debut album for which Scott has put together an exhibition named Don’t Believe The Hype at the British Music Experience in Liverpool marking 20 years of the album with behind the curtain artefacts and much more. There’s also a Q&A at the exhibition on the 11th February which will be hosted by me with Scott, Andy Nicholson and cover star Chris McClure which should make for a great night of nostalgia.
