Huw Costin is a British singer-songwriter known for his emotional vocal style, melancholic lyrics, and a penchant for writing nifty pop songs when the mood takes him.

His debut solo album - Regrets - found it's way into the NME Yearbook as a top 10 album despite being unfinished and unreleased: "It's like the third Big Star album mixed with the Stone Roses... It'll make you cry."
