Chris is a singer and guitarist steeped in the folk music tradition of the British Isles. Chris’s father, Derek was an early pioneer of the British revival, a performer, promoter and collector of folksong who made a number of radio and television appearances during the 1960s. Chris initially set out to train as a professional pianist, attending the Royal Northern College of Music between 2000 and 2004. It was whilst up north that Chris began rediscovering the sounds of his childhood and before long, a hankering for nostalgia developed into an obsession with the music of the folk tradition.
In a short time, Chris has built a strong reputation as a live performer, appearing at a number of the country’s leading folk clubs and venues, in addition to this, Chris worked as a performer for several years on behalf of leading music charity Live Music Now and is in high demand in London where he lives, as a teacher, most recently tutoring in folk performance at Goldsmith’s College. 2012 will see the release of Chris’s debut album, ‘Heirlooms’, on Wildgoose Records, one of the country’s top traditional labels and will feature some of the current movements leading instrumentalists, including Jackie Oates, Keith Kendrick, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, Issy Emeny and Pete Flood in support.
