About Chris

I embarked on my musical journey many years ago under the guidance of the world-renowned Guitarist Graham Wade. A former Professor and Head of Strings at Leeds College of Music, Wade is a celebrated biographer, author, and a global authority on the Classical Guitar. Throughout my career, I have played with bands of many styles, orchestras and a diverse range of ensembles spanning classical, contemporary, and rock genres. I have attended masterclasses by legendary Guitarists such as John Williams and Julian Bream. I am a teacher and session musician, covering numerous styles and genres.

Chris was so professional and accommodating at every stage of our wedding. He played Cavatina in the service and another romantic Bach piece. Perfect. It was so good to have live background music during the service and reception. Guests were relaxed, charmed and engaged by Chris’s repertoire of different styles. Highly recommended !!! Siobhan and John Newlyweds
