about

DJ Colin Faver's first involvement with music came when his friend offered him a part time job in a record shop, Small Wonder Records. He became a big fan of the punk and new wave music the shop specialized in and began to look for new acts to sign up and release on the newly formed Small Wonder record label. More Info Colin Favor Profile 2 Interview from 1993 CDs & DVD Colin also designed and produced label & sleeve artwork for many of the fifty odd releases. It was during this period he began to be a regular visitor to many of London's clubs and live venues. Eventually this lead to his first ever live DJ performance, when he was asked to stand-in for the regular dj at the legendary Marquee club in Soho. He then began to play regularly at this club and several other top punk clubs, THE Roxy, Vortex and the notorious Speakesy club (an after-hours club frequented by Hendrix in the 60’s and Sid Viscous in the 70’s) After meeting many of the leading bands involved in the scene, Colin decided to promote his own concerts and club nights. With partner Kevin Millins he started a company Final Solution for this purpose. Their different approach to the business and creative selection of venues and line-ups gained them a great reputation in the industry. JOY DIVISION, NEW ORDER, CABARET VOLTAIRE, THROBBING GRISTLE, BAUHAUS, THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN and CULTURE CLUB are just a few of the many acts he worked with.
