Re: Chris Rea ends his musical career

Maybe it's just me but I've seen nothing that says Chris is to stop touring! Can MRB post the link to the article? Also I am sceptical of any newspaper article printed on the 1st April in the UK which is traditionally the date for printing believable stories that are fictitious, unless of course it'...

Re: Paul In Texas

Hi Paul

Welcome to the forum.

If you are looking for a kindred spirit in the Houston area can I suggest Mike Hart who runs MikeHart Photography, he has been a fan for many years and I'm sure would welcome an exchange of views on Chris related matters.

Re: Unknown song featured in the Dancing Down The Stony Road

Hi Tom I think what Gerry is doing is his overdub for the track Ride On ( Track1 CD 2 )although on the track itself not much banjo can be heard during the minute or so fade to the track!

Re: LIVE SESSION VIDEO OF CHRIS

Re: LIVE SESSION VIDEO OF CHRIS

It really doesn´t matter which way he plays these songs, it´s dead boring to hear always these same ones. Chris has hundreds of songs in his catalogue, it´s plain boring and shows no inspiration what so ever to do the same ones over and over again. Sorry Mr B to disagree but just count up the nuber...
