Career

Born in Huish Episcopi, Somerset, he grew up in Hornchurch, Essex, where he learned the ukulele at age eight.[1] Under the name Colin Boyd, he replaced Allan Ward in The Honeycombs in April 1966, there he remained with the group until they split the following year.

Not long after the Honeycombs split, he formed Honeybus with Pete Dello and Pete Kircher under the name Colin Hare. The group's 1968 song "I Can't Let Maggie Go" went to number eight on the UK Singles Chart.[2] Hare released his debut album, March Hare, in 1968.[3][4] In 1979, Hare moved to London and spent most of the 1980s working as a songwriter, a job that Pete Kircher also had. Hare remains active in the music industry.
