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:
