About Me


The coloured dreams are Tam Cassidy and Kevin McGowan; they grew up and still live in the gritty working class area of Alloa, brought up on a diet of the beatles, pink floyd, the doors, jimi hendrix and punk. when they first met they found they had lots in common in their taste in music and desire to create, they dreamed of getting away from the dark cloud of unemployment in the area and so the idea, name and the beggining of coloured dreams was born!,they have been performing and writing together since that day which has seen them form a strong friendship and songwriting partnership, they have done the club circuit firstly in their home town, then other areas of Scotland, then England. Then they went on to tour Europe 3 times on a circular rout from Lille in the North of France to Nice and Antibes in the South, to Switzerland and Luxembourg through to Holland and Belgium. Over the last few years they have been finalists in many song-writing competitions including the Daily Records Big Break, the Falkirk Big Day event and more recently the pringles unsung final in london. The current line up has Alan Huntley on drums and stevie gillies on bass. They are now going to take there songs and show on the road, they are also going to record some more songs, Tam and Kev have been writing since they first picked up a guitar so they have a backlog of songs to work with. These guys are at their most comfortable in life when they are on stage and pour every ounce of their emotion into live performances in a way that makes the audience feel their passion for what they do. They perform together in a manner that can only be accounted to the work they have put in through the years. They have chemistry between them that others try to emulate but which can only be something one is born with, all this mixed with their humour and their charm and you have the coloured dreams!
