Colin Hamilton
Colin grew up listening to the sounds of piano, and moved on to make use of his musical ear through a degree in mass communications, specializing in audio engineering. He has been mixing for live concerts over the past 30 years. He finally committed to the banjo at the same time as he started a family with Wendi (23 years ago), being determined to make music a family pastime instead of having a television. His ultimate goal is to live at a beach with a great surf break, switching between the banjo and a surfboard with family, friends and bare feet. Jam Camp comes remarkably close to this dream - and while it is only 5 days and there is no surf, he will be making the most of this fantastic time sharing his clawhammer banjo skills with anyone who wants to learn, and spreading the joy of family music making. Colin has been involved with Jamcamp for 15 years and is currently co-managing Jam Camp on the Island with his wife Wendi (they also managed Jam Camp by the Sea for 5 years). Colin plays banjo with his band PONDSIDE who have recently released their first album PaperThin!
