quilp Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 My mate Colin Hinds succumbed to cancer and died earlier today. A local fella originally, who left the Island years ago to pursue a successful music career as a guitarist. He succeeded in playing for China Crisis, Eurythmics, Mike and the Mechanics, Toyah Wilcox, Paul Carrick and quite a few other top line bands. A man of endless talent and an inspiration for other muso's he played with. And a good man all round. Sorely missed... This is a track which he put together... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sorry to hear. There comes an age when it starts to be your friends rather than the friends of older relatives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 So sorry to hear this Quilp. Met him a few times when he called in to see his dad who lived across the road from us. Nice lad. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sad to hear Quilp. Wasn't he ex-Willaston school? ...and had a brother Stephen I'm thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 No Albert, I think Steve is his cousin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Just read this Quilp. Didn't know him but I remember seeing him play, and know that he was a very highly respected musician. Very sorry for your loss. ETA: Have just watched the video. Wow, what a talent. 'Any man that can play like that...' Edited February 19, 2020 by Shake me up Judy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Amazing track, thanks Quilp. I never met Colin but my husband played with him and has always raved about him and what an amazing musician he was. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) This is rather a sad photo, taken when, I'm not so sure. In it we see, top row right, Anglin Buttimore (deceased). Bottom left, Charlie Cannell (deceased), bottom middle, John Herdman (deceased), bottom right, Colin Hinds (deceased). Hard to express my sadness when I see this. Though not victims of the virus it was Anglin's recent demise that had me looking through my archive. Played in various local bands with all of them, with the exception of John Herdman being another drummer, whom some of you may remember as an ace cartoonist back in the day. Charlie Cannell, husband of Brenda, the 'slow-hand' of the bass guitar. He had a style which exemplified the 'space between' meaning it's not what you play but what you don't play. Especially-so when it came to funk and reggae. And then there's the late, great Colin Hinds. His music and style spoke more than I can say. Anglin Buttimore, all-round muso and sound engineer could play any style and a welcome influence on me in the early days. As was his brother Simon, also deceased a couple of years ago. As the song goes, "Only the good die young." (yes, I know Ang was 65 but hey...) The second image was taken at the Peppermint Palace/Joe's Cafe with Colin's brother Dave Hinds on guitar.

ecobob Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I was so sad to hear of Anglin’s passing this week. Every one of those boys did so much for the local music scene but it’s Anglin who I have the fondest memories of. RIP mate and love to Jenny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Quite a lot of respect on-line for Anglin from the next generation of musicians - the indie and alt-rock types. He made it possible when they were starting out to just turn up and play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 This thread is probably a suitable place to post some more sad news. A good friend and sometime bandmate of Colin passed away earlier. Another great contributor to the local music scene with the band G.A.S.P. Sad stuff... Stevie Parry RIP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
