Primary Instrument: Vocal
During a career spanning 30 years Chris has built up a well earned reputation on the live music scene in the U.K. and abroad. With his fascinating blend of song and repartee and countless appearances ranging from big bands to duos, Chris sings easy listening, lounge, hard swing and emotionally charged ballads. As well as well-known ( and lesser-known) standards Chris has recently added newly-written numbers to his repertoire. Chris' latest CD is titled Easy Going Me and contains the top ten from his live gigs, plus three new songs: Easy Going Me, What Goes Around Comes Around, and Along Came You (the May Day song). Chris has also revived Madonna Mine, a song once performed by Al Bowlly, in an exciting new arrangement which features violinist Chris Haigh. Chris was recently featured on a Channel 4 documentary about his father, the legendary cabaret singer Hutch.

He has certainly inherited his father's warm vocal timbre and musicality...a
warm, comfortable and relaxing CD which Chris should be proud of and which
the listener will enjoy
