Chris Bannister

Friday 11th October, 7:30pm

An evening with Chris Bannister is an evening of rare quality.  Whether it is showcasing the exceptional talent of this singer-songwriter with his self-penned collection of songs, his covers of much-loved classics or undiscovered folk songs or his simply stunning tribute to the music of John Denver, it is easy to see how he has gained an international reputation which has delighted fans for over two decades.

His debut album ‘Only Human’ was released in 1992.  Produced in a small Liverpool studio and on an independent label, the album which combined country, folk and rock elements immediately caught the attention of legendary broadcaster, Bob Harris who added the album to his radio playlist.   The single ‘We Were Children’ was released in 1993, and having been included on the BBC radio 2 playlist, brought Chris’s work to a wider audience

Subsequently, his live shows were enthusiastically received and, being much in demand, Chris spent the next few years focussed on extensive touring, with up to 200 live performances a year before releasing his second album ‘Colours’ which he once again toured extensively.
