Chris Millington is a musician/songwritter based in North Devon.
Having been dragged up through the Manchester Indie scene and various bands,
Chris has now found his niche. Inspired by the beautiful north Devon coastline
and local stories of smuggling, wrecking and piracy along the North Devon
coast, Chris has penned some moving songs in the hope and with the passion
of keeping some of these stories alive.
Recently described as the ..'wild eyed boy of Exmoor..' Chris combines the
traditional with the contempory singing songs of the sea, the past and the
heart.
A multi talented, multi instrumentalist, Chris feels at ease with anything from
the guitar to squeezebox, from mandolin to sitar. This diversity of influences
and instruments compliments his compositions and accompanied by a voice that
ranges from raucous Bowie-esque vocal to the haunting choral arrangement of
the Liberame Domine at the end of the enchanting 'Who Will Cut Me Down?"
Thanks to the rocks and the sea for the inspiration
Chris is available for Clubs/Pubs and Events -
