Chris Blackwell
Hello and welcome, I am Chris. I write songs and I record them. I was formed in 1984 with the help of my parents. I then went on to develop a taste for music and here am I now...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
On occasion with my band. I'd love to play some solo gigs soon.
Your musical influences
The Beatles, Rush, E.L.P, King Crimson. Progressive rock Musically and once I heard Frank Zappa I knew I couldn't possibly write serious lyrics. Growing up with the Transformers also takes it's toll musically, nothing like some hard rockin' 80's tunes.
What equipment do you use?
Gibson SG, Epiphone Casino, A cheap acoustic from Donegal. Hughes and Kettner Attax 80, Marshall Dsl 100. Various effects pedals, Zoom MRS-802...and of course a casio Keyboard!
Anything else?
I have a fascination with the number 47. It haunts me
