Hello there, I'm Chris...

I live in London and I play drums in indie/rock n roll band The Bishops...

I started playing drums in the early 90's when my brother Justin and his band couldn't find a permanent drummer, so I was like 'ok I learn to play the drums and join yer band' from then on I caught the bug and gave up Football for Rock 'n' Roll. I was brought up listening to my dads and Justins record collection, alot of which is still my favourite music today! I learned most of my musical skills from Justin and the bands we were in during the 90's, Souldrive and Jeg.

I'm involved in other music projects in my spare time and I also enjoy singing or playing at blues jams, particularly The Spice Of Life in central London. I get a kick out of singing 'Framed' by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and 1 or 2 others of theirs or something improvised!

Favourite quote! ...'A Fender Telecastor Is a much better invention than a AK47, it's got much more penetration, it's a better killer, it's got much better communication, yi see the trouble wi' a AK47 is they're 'aw dead,...if you've got a Fender telecastor or like if you've got a stratocaster and you play 'Peggy Sue' like Buddy Holly did, now how many people you gonna get wi' that and their gonna live and that's gonna live forever, a suppose that's what I like about Rock 'n' Roll'! Alex Harvey.
