Biography
Colin MacIntyre, born on April 8, 1971, in Mull, Scotland, is a musician and novelist known for his work under the name Mull Historical Society. Growing up on the island of Mull, MacIntyre was influenced by his uncle's covers band and formed his own group while still at Tobermory Primary School. He later moved to Glasgow.
MacIntyre coined the name Mull Historical Society after seeing an advert for an organization that has since changed its name to the Mull Historical and Archaeological Society. His debut album under this moniker, Loss, was released in 2001 and inspired by his upbringing on Mull and the sudden death of his father in 1999. In 2003, Mull Historical Society's second album, Us, reached Number 19 in the UK Albums Chart. Notable songs include "Public Service Announcer" and "The Supermarket Strikes Back". The band played support for acts such as Elbow, the Strokes, R.E.M., the Delgados, and The Polyphonic Spree. In 2004, Mull Historical Society released This Is Hope, inspired by a two-month visit to the United States. MacIntyre's subsequent albums under his own name include The Water (2008) and Island (2009). He returned as Mull Historical Society for City Awakenings in 2012, which focuses on London, New York, and Glasgow. In My Mind There's A Room was released in July 2023.
