Colin Tench started out his music career in 80′s with Odin (of London) alongside John Culley (ex-Cressida, ex-Black Widow) leading to the formation of BunChakeze, they recorded one album; Whose Dream? which would sit unreleased for about twenty five years. Whose Dream? eventually would see the light of day and was self released in 2010, the album received much praise from the press. Since 2010 Tench has been busy working as an active member of bands such as Corvus Stone, Coalition & Transmission Rails along with Andres Guazzelli, Murky Red and Andy John Bradford’s Oceans 5.
The Idea of CTP / Colin Tench Project came about in 2012, the first track he composed was Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Screwed, a seven plus minute epic instrumental. Tench had no idea that he was even working on a solo project, it was just one song, then two and then he realized he needed to do something with these songs he wrote for himself and not the projects he was involved in, thus CTP was born.
Tench is no stranger when it comes to working with international musicians like; Lorelei McBroom (Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones), Joe Vitale (Joe Walsh, Eagles, CSNY), Phil Naro (Talas, Peter Criss) and Sean Filkins (Big Big Train).
For the solo album he has assembled some amazing talent featuring members of: (Karibow, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Buckingham Nicks, Jimmie Van Zant, Springfield Symphony as well as members of Tiger Moth Tales, Murky Red, Unified Past, Coalition, Gandalf’s Project, BunChakeze, Transmission Rails, Progeland, Druckfarben, Backhand and DDrive.
