Kara

Colin had for sometime wanted to start up a band based on his own compositions with Steve who had been a friend for couple of years after playing together in a previous band.
Colin had also played with Kirsta previously all had a deep affinity for the musical ideas on show the combination of the three formed the Neucleus of the band.
A self titled album was released in 2005.
A mix of Karnataka, Mostly Autumn, Iona, Mermaid Kiss and Camel, think that is nice reason to buy the album.
The cd has received exceptional reviews through out Europe and America.

Colin Mold - Guitars, keyboards and vocals,
Krista Johnston - lead vocals, Recorders, Flute & keyboards,
Steve Barefoot - drums, percussion & vocals.

The search for the right players carried on though out the whole of 2006 during this period Krista decided to move on.
In 2007 the line upp is completed:

Colin Mold - has been playing violin and guitar since age of 8,
Steve Barfoot - has been playing since the age of 16 and is mainly self taught,
Nick Reynolds - started playing keyboards at 13,
Nigel Coe - started out playing bass at 16.

New April 2007:
Jane Cosserat - lead voclas.

Here you can listen to their songs on their own webpage.
And of course they're on MySpace.

SOLO:

COLIN MOLD
Colin Mold founded the band Kara, is currently the guitarist in Karnataka and is an associate member of Magicfolk.
Mold’s first solo CD Water of Divinities (2007) is every bit as good as the Kara CD and has many similarities. It began as a collection of instrumental pieces designed around the story of Saint Alban and ended up as a mix of vocal pieces and instrumentals. Mold sings and plays acoustic & electric guitars and synths. Jo Marriot plays flute on two tracks and Steve Barfoot plays drums on one, meaning the rest of the drums are programmed, but this detracts little from the music. It is soft progressive rock with similarities to Camel, Gordon Giltrap, Mike Oldfield, Steve Hackett, Clannad and others.
On his second CD Girl on the Castle Steps (2012, 59-minutes), Mold sings and plays electric & acoustic guitar, keyboards, and violin and is joined by a full-time drummer (who adds pipes on one track), and Iona’s Martin Nolan guesting on whistles. Cindy L. Spear, who has also worked with Iona and Mandalaband, wrote the lyrics of four songs. You want the short description? How about Pendragon meets Fairport Convention? The songs at their core are in the best British Isles singer-songwriter folk tradition, and with the violin naturally suggest modern Fairport Convention, but Mold’s songs are more poignant and epic. These folky songs begin with symphonic synth pads and Clannad-like atmospheres, then build to majestic sympho-prog climaxes, with Mold’s lyrical electric guitar soaring like Nick Barrett’s or Mike Oldfield’s. Mandalaband, Iona, and Barclay James Harvest are good reference points. These are two of the loveliest a and most seductive soft progressive CDs we’ve heard in some time.

Colin plays now in Karnataka ('12).

Home again.
