After gaining a Degree in Fine art at Newcastle University, taught in schools
and colleges, performed in various acoustic blues bands and formed and
ran the infamous “Bradford Blues Club” (the ‘BBC’ - Steve Phillips,
Brendan Croker, etc).

Spotted playing in a local bar by Bill Byford of The Rhythm Sisters.
Then toured and recorded with them for a few years (Ronnie Scotts,
Friday Night Live, etc) before developing own project with Huddersfield
singer Mary Johnston, forming Heart Repair.

Signed potential deal with Warner Brothers’ (East West) which was eventually shelved in the middle of the Recession in 1992.

Didn’t touch guitar for ten years and learnt classical piano instead!

Had to come back at some point - now developing solo career (The Thin Man) playing self-penned songs from two available CD’s Mother and Physiognomy.

Chris is receiving much critical acclaim for both recorded work and live performances!
