Colum is a member of The Sands Family, one of Ireland's favourite musical families. Colum is a master singer songwriter who has plied his trade all over the world for the past 20 years. His songs are much sought after and have been covered by several high profile singers.
On his latest collection "Look where I've ended up now" Sands finds inspiration across that same vast landscape which has welcomed his songs and stories over the past thirty years - from Ireland to the rest of Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and North America. In the company of fellow Sands Family members and some of Ireland's finest musicians, the exotic flavours of Armenian Oud player Vasken Solakian and the outstanding English accordion player Karen Tweed, the County Down songwriter comes up with lines like "Remote controllers all over the house, we have not the remotest control" or "rain coming in through the ceiling and the water bill's gone through the roof!" to carry the tradition of the troubadour into the 21st century with the blend of humour, critical insight and optimism which has become his hallmark.
