It's fair to say that Chris has been playing guitar for a while now, but the story doesn't just begin and end with that... He discovered the guitar after a good classical grounding, which rapidly fell by the wayside. He still retained a strong sense of melody, however, which got carried across into his guitar playing. In fact, he believes that melody is more important than technique - that a good guitar solo is one that you can whistle once you've heard it. His career has seen him playing thousands of gigs across several continents, and he's supported the likes of Santana, Saxon, Ultravox and Skinny Molly, for whom he now plays. Late 2008 saw him release his own instrumental guitar CD, "The Pine Cone Incident". The album goes from heavy to chilled, anthemic to acoustic, bluesy to straight-down-the-line rock'n'roll. Here is what some people are already saying about it: "Fantastic tracks... music like this one dont happen to be found every day!" - Carlo Basile, Radio Basile & former A&R manager, RCA/BMG, Italy "With instrumental prowess like this who the hell needs vocals? Buy two! One for home the other for the car!" - FC, Sussex, UK "Riffs that you can't get out of your head. Here lies Majestic Rock with a funky sprinkle, and a southern twist, Jack Daniels for the ears! " - LB, Devon, UK
