Colin was the rhythm guitarist in a couple of Birmingham groups, The Strangers and The Saracens in the 1960s. These groups performed Shadows numbers and many of the sixties pop hits. He left the groups in the late 1960s and did not play again publicly until he moved to Spain.
Ann has no earlier group experience but learned to play the piano as a child. She joined Interactive Murcia to play a few chords but it progressed from there and she now loves playing in the group and experiencing the satisfaction of seeing people really enjoying their music.
Interactive Murcia have been together for over ten years. Initially, they focused on being a function and local venue band performing covers of popular hits from the sixties to the present day. They had a great time doing so.

This led to an amazing positive response from YouTube and Facebook followers and radio listeners on stations all around the world.
