A great show by Colin and the band. The sound was the best I have heard at that venue. A great new album, and some great stories. They it's been a good while since the last time they played Newcastle, but what a great return!

Mull Historical Society Biography
Mull Historical Society was the pseudonym for Colin MacIntyre (born 8 April 1971), a Scottish singer, song-writer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and (as yet) unpublished author. His previous albums were released under the band name 'Mull Historical Society', even though the band consists of Colin alone. Mull is an island off the west coast of Scotland — the name comes from an actual genealogical society on the island, who have since changed their name to the Mull Historical and Archaeological Society.
Colin MacIntyre uses a lot of unusual techniques and instruments. For example, Colin is credited to have played 'Seagulls' and 'Fire Extinguisher' for the song Gravity, and played 'Beer Kegs' on the song Death of a Scientist, which was written about the late Dr David Kelly. Also, Colin frequently samples the sounds of the world around him into his songs. For example, an public announcement from the Glasgow Subway in Public Service Announcer and the end of Final Arrears features part of the shipping forecast.
A staple of Colin's tours and album art—which is itself usually very diverse, featuring everything from arty shots to plain landscapes and usually has MS Paint drawings by Colin himself—is 'The Giant Dog With The Wig', an oversize model of a dog with a large comedy blue wig on. The dog has become such a symbol of Colin’s music that in the video for How 'Bout I Love You More, Colin's 'spaceship' is the dog itself.
Breaking with tradition, February 2008 saw the release of Colin's fourth LP, 'The Water', under his own name, and produced by Lemon Jelly's Nick Franglen.
