Chris Conway
His style is unique - blending a U.S. West Coast sound with Celtic Roots with hints of world music and jazz - delivered with a powerful, soulful voice. His songs are like films, with a magical quality, each song drawing the listener into it's spell. Some funny, some touching. His laid-back chat between songs is irresistible too.

He has released 10 CDs of his own songs and 7 in collboration with others.

He's played with the cream of the UK folk and folk/rock scene.
He is a part of Vikki Clayton's band, and she recorded two of his songs on her CD. With Vikki he has played Cropredy Festival twice playing to 20,000 people, and the Edinburgh Fringe 5 times. He's also toured with ex Monkee Peter Tork, played with members of Jethro Tull and Fairport Convention as well as Martin Carthy, Sally Barker, Pete Morton, Cathy Lesurf, & Tommy Emmanuel.

He has supported legends
Bob Geldof, Roy Wood, Richie Havens, Frances Black, Country Joe McDonald, Jefferson Starship and Arthur Brown, Dean Friedman amongst others at packed houses.

Chris Conway solo is a unique show - "Songs of Love & Peace & Outer Space" is his slogan and that sums it up well.


Songs taken from his CDs are mixed with favourite classic songs. Celtic, US West Coast, hints of jazz, blues - backed by guitar, piano, kalimba, and features for tin, twin & low whistles and theremin and Christo's unique humourous laid back chat to the audience.

Chris Conway's history in songs/roots music

Though singing and writing a little in his college days CC's singer-songwriting came of age when he joined The Storm Thives - a trio of singer-songwriters. Comparisons were made to CSN and other west coast groups. They recorded a number of albums and some of CCs work with them is collected on his Storming CD.

Whilst with The Storm Thieves CC looked into solo performing and recording, setting his stall out with Sounds Like Rain CD which got international distribution.
Early influences were definitely David Crosby, also John Sebastian, Jesse Colin Young, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Celtic influences from Alan Stivell making a kind of US west coast- meets-Celtic sound. He formed his own band Chris Conway & The Talking Fish.

He then toured Germany 6 times with singer-writer Roger Pugh. On that tour he met Vikki Clayton who drafted him into her band, playing Cropredy Festival twice to 20,000 people, and getting him to record on 2 of her albums including 2 of his songs. Earth Rising was a big CC album with Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker and a host of other guests on it.

Other CDs followed - a live one, which demostrated his humourous banter on record, and the twin releases My Mind's Island and Alien Salad Abduction - the latter reflecting his interest in Filk Music.

5 years went by before Chris returned to making an album of new songs in the studio with the release of Close the Circle in 2006. Following this up in 2008 with Songs for Dreamers.

Through all this time his duo with singer-songwriter Dan Britton has continued and remains his busiest song-based live act. They have recorded 2 CDs and 1 DVD, played Edinburgh Fringe twice and are a terrific duo with a big band sound.
