Chris was actually born in Bristol and moved
to Liverpool when he was nine (although you'd
never know judging by his accent!) He got a
guitar for his fourteenth birthday and his musical
career began. He became hooked on playing the
guitar and writing songs, and by the time he
was fifteen he had formed his own band with
Gary and some other schoolmates.
Chris landed his first acting role in the film
'Backbeat' as George Harrison.
He went on to make more films, starring in 'Julie
and The Cadillacs' and 'The Train' as well
as in the television programme 'Ellington' and
the theatre show 'Love Me Do' as John Lennon.
Chris's musical and film experience has recently
taken him on both sides of the camera. The NBC
America film 'In His Life - The John Lennon Story',
gave Chris the opportunity not only to play Tony
Sheridan, but also to team up with David as Musical
Coordinator. Chris has also made various appearances
on many T.V shows, MTV, Big Breakfast, and Pebble
Mill to name a few.
It was the film 'Backbeat'
that inspired Chris to form the Backbeat Beatles
in 1994. Up until 2000, Chris played the part
of John Lennon in the band, but when Paul McDonough
joined the Backbeat Beatles he changed to playing
Paul which entailed learning the Bass guitar parts,
"for every Beatles song in 2 weeks".
Chris is an accomplished musician who has turned
his hand to the acoustic, electric and bass guitar
as well as keyboards, as well as being a very
talented singer/songwriter.
