Thanks to the wizardry of the web/Spotify I "discovered" a really good singer/guitarist Richard Hawley. Check him out on Spotify if you can.... Great voice....I recommend him.
Merry Christmas and great New Year to all

Did anybody else hear the 1 hour radio program on Smooth f.m. 100.4 on Sunday 5th September dedicated to Chris. It was really good basically Chris going through his life and quite a few songs as well. A really down to earth guy.... I've managed to find it again at http://www.smoothradionorthwest.co....

I hope this is the right place to post. Computer dead since December2009. so it's a late report. So Far to Go tour in Liverpool was the best yet.... Chris was in fantastic form, bouncing off the walls! I was really worried for him "healthwise" after seeing the radio5 videoa few months ago....

Yet again I say many thanks to Ronald, yes Chris looked and sounded a bit tired, but hey what the hell. He is still FANTASTIC. Many thanks Chris!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe the bandaged forearm was to to a crash at Oulton Park race circuit at last weekend. Anyway Chris speedy recovery, and all the best for th...

Just watched the videos from Radio2. They were fabulous. Good old BBC ....... Bart next time you see Chris ask him to get them all on a DVD. I felt as though I was in the studio with them. Not watching a huge concert, much better to see Chris close up with the band, almost like a studio setting conc...

By the way saw you ploughing the greenery at Oulton Park at the weekend. Glad you weren't injured. Keep on truckin' mate, and thanks for over 30years of grea...

Hi Serge, Thanks for these fantastic pictures. It shows Chris is playing one of his many "maranello classics" irrespective of the headstock name. These are great guitars, especially at the price. Just shows how a reasonably priced guitar can sound in the hands of a maestro like Chris. BRIL...

I'm not sure where to post this but here goes. Looking through some old guitar magazines in my room, I found 2 interviews with Vhris Rea They are both from GUITAR BUYER magazine . (April 2004 called back to the blues) and (April 2008 return of the hofner blue notes). They are both worth reading and ...

What a great thread on CR's guitars. I have played a strat for many years then about 5 years ago added a telecaster to my collection. Finally a Maranello Classic in blue sparkle. "What a guitar" the Maranello has turned out to be. No wonder Chris bought a job-lot in Denmark Street. With so...
