Colin Pincott

[Bill Eisner]

Does anybody out there know of a session guitarist, based in
London/E.Anglia,
Named Colin Pincott? He is the most Monsterous Player I have ever seen. I
used to study with him, but now I have lost track of him, and would dearly
like to get in contact with him in order to thank him for all he has given
me. I am a session player in the USA now, where I am originally from, and am
studying here as well
Thanks for any and all help!

Colin used to do clinics for Arbiter, oooh, around - sixteen/seventeen years
ago - that the one?

He's a big bloke with (at the time) a beard? If so, I saw him do a clinic at
a guitar shop in St Martin's Lane in about 1982 (when the 1957/62 Vintage
Fenders and Squiers were introduced).

I don't know where he lives or anything, but he MAY (or may not) be
connected with the following guitar business (who distribute Allparts
components in the UK):

PINCOTT'S (parts for guitars)
32 Hayfield Drive
Hazlemere
High Wycombe
Bucks HP15 7TB
Tel: 01494 817351

Even if the "Pincott" at that address is not Colin, they may be able to give
you a t/n for him.

I similarly learned a great deal from Colin and have been trying to track him down to say thanks for several years. He is probably one of the best and least credited guitar players in the UK. Can anyone help with contact details? Many Thanks, Greg

To all who are searching. Colin is my brother in law. He still lives in Ipswich Suffolk and is retired. I will pass on your contacts

I lost contact with Colin in the early nineties
I called his home and Colin's mother said That Colin could not come to the phone I never knew why but lost touch from that point on
We were good friends and played in bands together in the eighties I lived it Solihull West Midlands which Colin would remember having stayed at my place
I moved to Sydney Australia in 2001/2 and would love to be able to catch up with Colin again if you could pass this email on I would appreciate it greatly
Thanking you in advance

Hi Trevor, likewise please pass on my details. . . . Colin and I were in the ill fated Mammoth together, we had many a curry and beer together. . .Mac

Hi all.
I too would love to get in contact with Colin. One of the best guitarists ever! Saw him at the University of East Anglia with Mammoth. I had some lessons with him in Lowestoft (I live in Suffolk) around 1987.
To his brother in law - please mention Christmas trees and a former student Chris and a song Starting Over which he wrote. I loved to watch the faces of onlookers in pubs when he played and blew them away with his playing! I think Colin may have suffered from ill-health (me too) and lives in Ipswich. I hope I hear from him.

Hello my name is Leroy Osbourne. I took guitar lessons with Colin Pincott 35 years ago when in 1980 for a few months. I think I was around 18 yrs old. He was a huge man with long hair. A memory I've had permanently etched in my mind, is of Colin walking his little dog "Pinky." Quite the contrast! if you can imagine. I could tell he had a lot of love for that dog. He was also a great teacher. It was amazing to see a man with such huge hands, with fingers as big as sausages, play with such speed and finess. He used to tell me stories about playing with John Mclaughlin. If I'm not mistaken, he also recorded an album with him. Colin taught me 3 guitar performance tunes, Moon light in Vermont, Bluesette, and Misty which I still remember to this day. I still have his lesson sheets on modes too. (Ionian, Dorian, etc) I've always wondered whatever happened to him. He wasn't in that great a shape then. Is he still around? I do hope so..

[roman...@gmail.com]

Yes - Did quite a bit with Colin. Session work + some gigs. We were a rhythm
section along with Steve York on bass. Jo - Ann Kelly - Red Beans & Rice - Marianne Faithful etc - Not sure where he is now, but I'm sure you can track him down on google etc.

I would love to say hello. I played piano and Hammond with Colin and Boz Burrell in 1968. I was then known as Peter Beagley, but afterwards returned to Australia, and changed my name to Peter Head .My email is peter...@optusnet.com.au

Hello, Peter, and welcome.

The trouble with the NG is that most of the traffic has migrated over
onto its Facebook incarnation.

You'd be very welcome there too:

Hello, Marlene.

I'm sure you've already checked internet sources, but if you haven't
seen this one, it might help:

<http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Colin-Pincott/1042592495>

I don't want to dig into the site for myself because Colin's info is
obviouly nothing to do with me and I don't want to pry.

Hi, I knew Colin from 1965-70. He played on two of my recordings. He was amazing. Colin, Mike Leash, Graham Dee, Martin Woodruff, Rod Clarke (Ex Moody Blues) and others I can't remember. at 75, I still sing. Now live in Washington State.Can you say a BIG hello to Colin for me. Ray (Simon Hollywood).

My friend, Bill, and I had lessons from Colin on how to play Slippin' & Slidin', in around 1963. He lived on the Gunton Estate in Lowestoft. We also met his brother, Roger, who played bass. They had a band called the Bluebeats and played locally in places like the Royal Hotel and maybe the South Pier.

[michae...@btconnect.com]

Did anybody manage to find Colin Pincott.

I played drums with the 'Nashville 5' back in the 70's - Colin and his brother Roger played in the same band. One of our last gigs was supporting Manfred Mann at the Royal Hotel. Our singer at the time was a Keith Stevens. We all came from Lowestoft.

I have been asked by Kingsley Harris from the ' Music from the East Zone' for any information from those years ago - thus the need to track down Colin, Roger or Keith.
