November 2022 Exhibition at Harrods of Hingham
An exhibition of work created from a live show at the gallery on 29th October 2022, performed with John Settle on guitar & vocals, and Rob Forder on bass. Introducing more colour than ever before, this show captured the energy of Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition', King's of Leon's 'Sex on Fire', and an original instrumental. The subsequent exhibition featured the drum kit used together with work from previous performances.

A brief history...
"In 2004, I had a moment of inspiration when drumming after cutting my finger... After visiting the Tate Modern I imagined turning my music into visual art by feeding paint to my drum sticks. I worked with West Suffolk College Art students to trial the idea (pictured), performing it at Bury St Edmunds Gallery. It received a lot of press coverage from the BBC and ITV and as a follow up to that, I performed it for Children in Need outside the Forum in Norwich- but the paint was too cold so not enough came out to show up well on camera!
In 2012, I had another go with my band ‘The Colour’, with whom I released two original songs- a charity song celebrating Norwich City Football Club (with the Canaries' green and yellow colour scheme), and London's Calling for the London 2012 Olympics (with the five colours of the Olympic rings).
But alas, life and my career in the fire service took over again…
So, here we are in 2022- through a conversation at Harrods of Hingham I was asked to perform it again at the Dragonslayer Festival, and received sponsorship from Hahnemuele artist papers to create artwork created from music, for sale for the first time."
2011-2012... The Colour
March 2012 Music Video for 'London's Calling' by The Colour
Capturing the excitement of the Olympics coming to London. A call to the athletes from around the world, paint in the olympic colours flew from Scott's drum sticks in this alternative anthem.
July 2011 Music Video for 'Who Are Ya' by The Colour.
Featuring Bryan Gunn, the song was a tribute to the Canaries, in aid of Bryan Gunn's Leukaemia Appeal. After getting covered in green and yellow paint flung from Scott's drum sticks, Gunny said 'this is probably the craziest thing I've done for my Charity'. The song was touted to become the new Norwich City Football team anthem.
You can still get hold of the single here. Note due to the closure of Byan Gunn's appeal, all proceeds will now go to the Big C, Norfolk's Cancer Charity
