FREE Live Music 12-3pm: Chris Langston – 29th March, 2009
Every 1st Sunday of the month, the Visitor Centre hosts free live music….Chris Langston will be playing on Sunday 29th March 2009.
Hailing from NSW, Chris, from an early age, was exposed to a full range of country people and life. Having parents who valued their boomer upbringing and the pop, folk and rock mosaic of the sixties and seventies, gave Chris a broad base of musical influences. As a result, Chris has developed into a talented singer/songwriter with an eclectic taste in music, reflected in the catalogue of songs he writes and performs.
Chris has been performing as a solo artist since 2003 and has always incorporated a high percentage of his own material into his shows. In the past four years he has developed a powerful collection of his own material, with songs that can move and provoke and others that just sing to your soul.
His rich voice is his first instrument but his beloved Maton and the occasional electric sound of a Fender more than supplement it. Chris also plays a mournful harp.
Chris also plays blues in a duo that is versatile and fits a variety of pub, club, restaurant and support gigs. He also plays in local rock band called Grievance.
Chris has played in most of the major local venues around the area and has played with artist talents including Lawrie Minson, Randall Wilson, Matt Scullion, Daniel Conway, James Craswell, Katrina Burgyone, Sally Anne-Whitten, Matt O’Leary and Jeff Gibson.
His broad spectrum of gigs emphasis his musical aptitude, covering to date: ABC Regional Radio, New England North West, 2005 Country Music Festival, Tamworth Songwriter’s Nights, Rave 4 The Wave Concert, 2005 Toyota Battle of The Bands, Tamworth Country Music Busking Competition (2005) and weddings and parties.
Currently, Chris is building contacts within the music industry. He is enjoying the challenge of song writing and making a definitive mark in the industry.
Come and soak up the atmosphere with a glass of Blickling Estate wine. We look forward to seeing you enjoy yourselves at the Visitor Centre.
