Colin Edwin

Of the numerous musical mutations that marked the early 1990s, the rise of Porcupine Tree was one that really saw the creative sparks fly. Led by frontman Steven Wilson, the band were anchored by one of the most technically gifted rhythm sections anywhere in prog rock. Bassist Colin Edwin held down the low end of their fiendishly unpredictable songs with drummer Gavin Harrison. Always interested in playing music from a young age, Colin’s early love of jazz guitar soon shifted to bass thanks to the encouragement and enthusiasm of his parents and local session player, Martin Elliot.
