Looks like Chris is playing in the evening of 31 October. Tickets go on sale 9am on 19 July. Wish I could be there but being on the other side of the world makes it pretty impossible - unless I win Lotto .
Here's something that Chris has been doing during the year. Check out these webpages. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2132005/Chris-Rea-Musician-aspiring-painter-draws-inspiration-Berkshire-home-garden.html http://tristecracing.blogspot.co.nz/2012/04/2012-race-3-silverstone-national.html h...
When you check out the book it says there are 78 pages. I wonder where they get all the info to fill 78 pages? It also looks like they only print the book when you request it as per the piece below. I suggest taking a look at Google for this company and read the comments and blogs before parting wit...
I was astounded to find on our local auction site a book about Chris Rea for sale, cost NZ$70. The book is published by an outfit called Alphascript Publishing and they are selling the book about Chris on the internet and through other book outlets? It is not a cheap book and I would think true fans...

I have figured out that his setlist will always include Josephine, Julia, Stainsby Girls, Stony Road and Easy Rider for their personal reference to tho...
Back in February 2010 BlueMaranello asked :- "Does anyone know anything about the tune played on Dancing Down The Stony Road DVD, when Gerry O'Connor plays banjo and Sylvin comes in dancing (and eventualy informing the guys that the dinner is ready) ?" Well this piece of music has haunted ...
This is what Chris said in an interview with Simon Hayes on Wharf.co.uk on 22 August 2011 "Once I finish something I don't want to look at it. It's done, gone. I did my biography, which was fun, but as soon as I finished it, I went on to something else. Now they are saying I should bring it out...

Simon Mayo Drivetime is interviewing Chris Rea on BBC radio. Simon's guest after 6 is the Middlesbrough-born musician Chris Rea. Renowned for his distinctive vocal and guitar sound on hits such as 'The Road to Hell' and 'Auberge', Chris' latest release is a film and album called the 'Santo Spirito P...
I've read that Rhino is giving away tickets to a viewing in London on 5 September. If they choose me (if only) I'd be lucky to get there in time from NZ!! How do they choose who gets to go anyway?
I received my copy of Santo Spirito today in the mail in New Zealand. Actually it arrived here yesterday but I had to go to the Post Office to pick up the parcel. Haven't had chance yet to look and listen to it all but am playing the CD of the Bull Fight and it is fantastic. Very moody and portrays ...
