Colin Moulding - bassman, second writer-in-command, handsomest man in Swindon - floats around the shadows, flicking magazines, sometimes looking up to listen, alert but composed. . . Very cool - as only the partly disconnected can be.

While all the members of XTC of lived among Swindon's soot-scarred buildings at one time or another, bassist Colin Moulding now lives well outside the grimy borders of what was once the beating heart of the nation's railway industry. When Moulding opens the door in casual athletic gear, he looks less like a semi-obscure musician than a footballer on holiday.
