Blue Touch Paper, Queen's Hall, Edinburgh

HHHH

Colin Towns's desire to create a band that carries jazz values into the current – and possibly the next – age has come to fruition in Blue Touch Paper. The keyboard player and prolific composer of film and TV themes is an unassuming physical presence onstage but his ambitious ideas and aim of producing a sense of occasion through sound were obvious the moment the lights dimmed and the band walked on to pre-recorded atmospherics.
