Yes, I have to agree with chris - the watermarks DO spoil the pictures when viewed full size, but they're obviously there for a reason.

Congratulations and Happy 5th Birthday for the 25th of January! This is THE BEST forum on the internet for all Chris Rea fans. Thank you Bart, for all your time, effort, and dedication, in keeping this site up and running - I don't know what we'd all do without it. I know for one, that I'll definite...

Happy New Year everyone! Hope it's a good one for you all.

Hi all, Here is the English translation of the German interview with Chris. http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.focus.de%2Fkultur%2Fmusik%2Ftid-16192%2Fchris-rea-rumsitzen-macht-auch-nicht-gesuender_aid_453579.html&lp...

Listened to the interview with Chris and found it interesting, also liked the two songs that Chris likes listening to. Thanks very much for inserting the link, otherwise, I would have missed it completely.

Thanks for the link! Didn't even know it was on, so glad to have heard a bit of it at least. Sounded really interesting, only wish I could have heard the whole hour of it. Oh well.......

Hi Tina3,

I'll probably be ordering it tomorrow.

The site I'm going to buy this film from, she states that she has transferred the film from video onto DVD, so I'm hoping the reproduction will be much better than the video I bought from off Ebay, which, to say the least, was crap.

Jim M, I came across this site which is selling Chris Rea's 'La Passione' on DVD. Take a look at it and let me know what you think. Seems quite a lot of people are buying this film from off this site, and the price is cheap too! :D Dare I take the chance? :) http://www.ioffer.com/i/La-Passione-Chris...

Can anybody tell me what's happened to Chris's bass guitarist, Colin Hodgkinson? Has Sylvin Marc permanantly
joined Chris's band now?

Jim M,

How do I contact you by email - I have no contact address.

I was born on July 30th 1953 and am 56 years old, and boy, I feel it some days!

Just found this newspaper article which everybody might find of interest. Remember Chris not being very well a while ago? Maybe this was the reason.

Lindsay, If you buy 'La Passione' on video, be careful! I bought a copy from off Ebay and when I sat down to watch it one night, it was totally unwatchable! Although it stated that it was in 'Good Condition'. it turned out to be a very poor recording, and as it is unreturnable, not only have I waste...

The point of the farewell tour was that it would be the last time Chris would be performing as a solo act under his own name. The next time you would see him would be as a member of his new band, which, at the time, was going to be 'The Memphis Fireflies', and he would still be singing and playing s...
