SUMMARY:Colin Blunstone: Believe In Miracles Tour
LOCATION:The Union Chapel
DESCRIPTION:Colin Blunstone\, lead singer of The Zombies and acclaimed Solo
  Artist\, returns to UK stages with the “Believe In Miracles” Tour\, h
 is first national solo outing in 7 years.  The tour title is a nod to Blu
 nstone’s 1972 hit “I Don’t Believe In Miracles” (penned by Argent 
 singer/guitarist Russ Ballard)\, but is also a reflection on his remarkabl
 e 7-decade career.  Blunstone relates\, “I joined The Zombies as a teen
  thinking it would be a two or three year adventure.  Never in my wildest
  dreams could I have imagined it would lead to a lifetime in music…and t
 hat at the tender age of 80\, I’d be the subject of a documentary\, reco
 rding a new album and embarking on a major tour!”.  His career-spanning
  show will feature classics from The Zombies\, favourites from his solo re
 leases and collaborations\, and debut new material from his forthcoming st
 udio album.  \n\nThe Bangles’ Susanna Hoffs said it best during her he
 artfelt speech inducting The Zombies into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 
 March 2019:  “Colin…your voice is just plain sexy!”\n\nThe world fi
 rst fell in love with that mysteriously silky voice from The Zombies’ 19
 60’s singles “She’s Not There”\, “Tell Her No” and “Time of 
 the Season”.  The band’s untimely demise in late 1967 led Blunstone i
 nto a solo career which began in earnest with the release of the lush and 
 string-laden One Year in 1971\, produced by former Zombies’ bandmates Ro
 d Argent and Chris White\, which scored him a Top 15 UK hit with Denny Lai
 ne’s “Say You Don’t Mind”.  He has released 10 albums of his own 
 over a period spanning more than 50 years\, including 1972’s Ennismore a
 nd 1974’s Journey\, and has lent his remarkable pipes to the recordings 
 of many others\, most notably the Alan Parsons Project\, who featured Blun
 stone on their 1982 hit “Old and Wise\,” as well as on several albums.
  \n\nA chance reunion with Rod Argent in 1999 brought about a 25-year res
 urgence for The Zombies\, prolifically touring the world and releasing new
  material.  In the midst\, Blunstone still managed to record three solo r
 eleases - The Ghost Of You And Me in 2009\, On The Air Tonight in 2012 and
  most recently\, the EP Less is More in early 2024\, a set of 5 sparsely-r
 ecorded demos showcasing those velvety vocals accompanied only by acoustic
  guitar.\n\nBlunstone celebrated his 80th birthday in June at the London p
 remiere of Hung Up On A Dream: The Zombies Documentary\, the first-ever fe
 ature film chronicling the band’s journey from teenage friends to Rock &
  Roll Hall of Fame Inductees (now available on AppleTV and Amazon).  \n
 \nWith Argent’s retirement for health reasons in 2024\, Blunstone is ref
 ocusing on his solo career while also continuing to celebrate the legacy o
 f The Zombies.  A new album is planned for release in 2026.\n\nBoletos: h
