Welcome to my web site. I'm Colin Hume, best known as a Folk Dance caller and composer. You may find me appearing at
Halsway Manor, Folk Camps, Folk Festivals such as
May Heydays (formerly Eastbourne)
, Chippenham, Lichfield, Sidmouth, Broadstairs, Morland, Southam and
Whitby, plus Dance Weeks in the States run by the
Country Dance and Song Society and the
Bay Area Country Dance Society. In my spare time I'm a programmer/developer — I wrote the computer version of The Clarkson Register for
Clarkson Research Services — and have built many web sites — see the
Programming section for more details.
