Chris

Hello and Welcome to my corner of the site! I'm Chris (obvious, yes!), 29 years old (making me the 2nd youngest member of this band, I might add), 5'11" tall, married to my lovely wife Abi and proud father to my son Jack and daughter Esmé!

By day I work in IT for a bank and am, without doubt, a self certified computer and gadget geek. Without Internet access, I feel as if I've had a limb removed.

I love drumming and first picked up drum sticks at the tender age of 13 and am mostly self taught (TRANSLATION: I have a lot of bad habits) through watching, listening and plain perjury from my favourite drummers! A few of my influences / heroes are (in no particular order): Vinnie Colaiuta, Jeff Porcaro, Stewart Copeland, Zoro, John 'JR' Robinson, Russ Kunkel, Mark Brzezicki, Mick Fleetwood, Ben Sesar.

Favourite HL song from Closed For the Winter and why?  Closed For the Winter – I just love way it flows. Ian’s piano work is special on that track

Most recent CD purchase?  Jackson Browne, The Naked Ride Home. Everyone should have a Jackson Browne album or two

Favourite food?  Indian food of many varieties

Favourite drink?  Tea… can’t get enough of it

Most played CD or mp3 file?  At the moment I’m well into a Dave Matthews Band album called Crash that I’ve had for years but not listened to in a while. Blistering musicianship

Least favourite food item? Tongue

What instrument do you wish you could play?   Bass or lead Guitar

Indoors or outdoors?  Very hard to say ... Both have their merits, although the advantages of Indoors are often dictated by the meteorological conditions of Outdoors

UK or abroad?  Abroad

Hot or Cold?  Hot

Sweet or savoury?  Savoury

Have you ever burnt your hair?  Yes and I’ll never forget that smell

Do you eat leftovers?  Yes

Roughing it or luxury hotel?  Luxury Hotel

Is your hair its original colour?  Yes

Mayonnaise or salad cream?  Both, not on the same plate though

Say your opinion or keep it to yourself?  Say my opinion, I encourage it because it prevents the fermentation of niggles

How long does it take you to get ready after you get out of bed?  A long long long (did I say long?) time usually

Complete this sentence, “I will never ... not ever eat a tomato”

Righty or leftie?  Righty ... although I’m well into developing my left hand dependency on’t drums.
