Chris was born into a musical family in Banbury, Oxfordshire UK in 1951. I started to play guitar at the age of eleven, but in keeping with the rest of the family I could never be bothered to learn to read music. My ear for chord sequences developed by studying the stacks of sheet music that was crammed into the old piano stool. I found the chords from the ukulele 'chord boxes' that would appear on the 30s and 40s sheet music. I would then have to find where my other two fingers would have to go! After spending many years in various pop, rock, dance bands, I have come full circle and returned to the 'old piano stool' and for the last few years, with just me and my guitar, I give my interpretation of the songs that inspired me as a youngster. I play the songs that I like and hope that the audience likes them too.
