here, you can explore the music of Colin

Atmospheric and original evocative solo guitar music…Tommis’ superbly descriptive music….I loved it

Classical Guitar Magazine, December 2009

"the wonderfully evocative guitar playing by Colin Tommis, who has created the sounds of the story - the animals, the moods and the landscapes. The children were enraptured"

Honor Giles, Director, Lymm Festival 2009

 "I was lucky enough to host the first Shropshire performance of The Pink Feather.  It's an enchanting blend of story-telling, original music and pictures for children and adults alike - evocative and educational.  I couldn't recommend it more highly"

Richard Green, retired headmaster of ‎St. Lucia’s C of E Primary School, Shrewsbury.

"I have listened to the pink feather twice now. I have enjoyed it each time and appreciate it the more I listen; how wonderfully the music and the story weave together. Once you have started listening to it, it realy takes you on the journey. The way the CD is produced with that amazing art work is all very well done. "

 Tony Johnson, Luthier

come again some time and play for us.
