Chris Lloyd
(Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Keyboards & Lead vocals)
Chris, or the “Silver
Fox” as he is affectionately known, has taken on the challenge
of recreating Don Henley’s high vocal range with a style
that is very much his own. Being classically trained from the
age of 14 his vocal coach washed his hands of him when he announced
that Opera was out and Rock ‘n’ Roll was in. Expression,
intonation, range and diction are all evident in the ballads
and his raw power gives the rock songs the edge. When not singing
lead, his voice can be heard providing the high natural vocal
lines in the block harmonies. Although singing is his first
love, being an ex-county tennis player has meant that sport
has always been a major passion in his life. A 400 metre runner,
goalkeeper (soccer), winger (rugby union) and opening batsman
(cricket), plus snooker and golf. These days, however, he prefers
to direct his competitive instincts into locating the country’s
finest curry houses.
