Still love his Touché D'Amour.

Oh no! What an icon he was. His 11 cd set Blue Guitars was such a massive statement of his talent. Rest in peace Chris.

A true giant. Agree with Ratso on the Blue Guitars set, but there was so much more that he offered.

Another of my favourite performers gone.

Absolutely Beergut. His albums are all excellent.

 :(   I'm gutted

Such a unique voice - now he sings with the Angels.

RIP Chris
