I've just filmed my first music video and the singer is dressed in a white suit, and was shot against a bluescreen. I need to replicate him (which I can do), but I need to change the colour of his suit without affecting the flesh tones in his face. Is this possible to do this in AE ? Without masking the figure, and if so how ?

precompose your keyed figure.
If you look at your blue channel this has probably the highest contrast of suit vs. skintones.
You should try to get a luma key out of that to put the fleshtones on a new ( duplicated) layer.
then just tint, colorama, multiply, colour correct, or by whatever means you want to colourize your white to your new suit-colours.
Good luck ! Can't garantuee you'll get perfect results though...
You could also try to auto generate some masks by using autotrace based on a threshold of the blue channel. (see Aharon's video podcast tutorial on supertight garbage mattes)
