Colin Gold was born on the 17.05.62 in Ashford Middlesex. He attended at Barbera Speak stage school in Acton from the age of 11 and soon joined forces with his brother Mark on keyboards with himself on drums, performing for many years as the "2 g's" around the club circuit. At the age of 12 they appeared with Frank Carson and Jim Davidson and also starred at the Lakeside Country Club, Frimley Green.

After many years of gigging, Colin threw the towel in on the drums and focused on lead vocal. Then in 1996 he appeared on TV's "Stars In Their Eyes" as Billy Fury. Two week after the show, he received a phone call, asking if he would like to help keep the music and the memory alive by performing with Fury's Tornados. He originally thought that it was one of his friends winding him up, so he hung up. Sure enough the phone rang again and it was Chris Raynor .The rest, as they say is HISTORY.

"Over the past 9 years there are a lot of fond memories and I've made a lot of new friends along the way, especially Chris "Chumley" Raynor, John "Raggster" Raynor, Charlie Elston, Graham Wyvill, Steve Nelson and of course Mr. Paul Vine. Oh yes how could I forget our tour photographer, Steve "Shammy" Forward. Who not only drives me to the venues, but comes round my house, sleeps on my sofa, drinks my beer and even now comes on bloody holiday with me and my family".

Colin would like to thank his wife Beverley June for all the love and support she has provided. They have been married for 18 years and have 3 children, Ricky (19), Danny (16) and Reece (9). Ricky can be seen all round the country working with super group the Hollies as a stage technician. He is a multi-talented musician in his own right, able to play, rhythm, lead and bass guitar. Danny (the noisiest member of the family), is one of the top 40 drummers in the U.K. and as well as playing in his own band The Originals, also works with the Billy Fury Story as Raggy's drum technician. Then there's Reece, many people say a clone of Colin, but Reece say's he has the better voice.

“I have enjoyed the past 10 years touring the country, and wish to carry on keeping the memory and the music of the great man himself alive with his very own band “Fury's Tornados.”

Many thanks, Good luck, God bless.

Colin would like to thank Dudley and Birgit at Platterpuss in Hayes.
