Taking a break from his regular Swingtet, another of our long term regulars Chris leads his strolling band on the jazz cruise and his popular six man New Orleans band in the evening. Chris began his career as a pofessional musician in the early sixties with the London City Stompers, then went on to Mike Daneils’ and Colin Kingwell’s bands before moving to Hampshire in 1969. Since then he has worked extensively throughout the south and on numerous ocean cruises.
