As the hottest thing to come out of Mull since Balamory, FemaleFirst couldn’t resist catching up with Colin MacIntyre to chat about his latest album The Water, his Andy Warhol inspiration and those Z-listers from Big Brother who are Famous For Being Famous!

What have you been getting up to recently, anything exciting?

Well I was making the video for Famous For Being Famous last Saturday night in London so that’s been the focus of the last few days and I’ve just seen the first draft. I went out in London’s West End dressed as Andy Warhol because his 15 minutes of fame comment was the premise behind the video.

It was a good laugh because we just had a camera pointing outwards the whole way from my eye line just watching the reactions we got from people along the way. The lyrics of the song talk about citizen fame so that’s why we went and pointed a camera at Joe Public and had an interesting night!

I’ve just been doing that and getting ready for some of the live dates that are coming up!

Wow, I love it! You have been performing under the pseudonym of the Mull Historical Society from 2001 to 2005; how is it performing under your own name now?

It’s actually no different really as it was always just me so in a weird way the Mull Historical Society was more me than this is now because with that I did the artwork and produced my albums; I basically did everything myself but this time round it’s really strange working with a designer on the artwork and having a producer.
