Popular acoustic act CMC, Chris Berry’s lighter melodic sound than when he is playing with top covers/functions band FOG, is back under way for the Autumn.
Chris & Mick back on the road with CMC this weekend
This weekend sees Chris and his good friend/brilliant singer/guitarist Mick Clarke back together for the first time since June. ‘With Mick now living in Spain our performances tend to be resticted to short tours,’ says Chris. ‘This time we have 4 lined up, starting with this Friday’s gig at East Cowick, near Goole. It’s a village ‘do’ and we are headlining so we’re looking forward to it very much. On Sunday afternoon we are playing at a new venue for us – The George & Dragon in Wetherby. We used to play in the Black Bull just close by but when Sue & Geoff at the Black Bull couldn’t put us on anymore, due to finances, Sue mentioned that the George & Dragon would be a good venue for us. It’s an afternoon one too, so that dispels any of this bit about Sunday gigs being a little too late for people who have to go to work the next day as we’re on from 4 til 7pm. We’re also playing the following Sunday 1 November at another new venue for us – The Fox & Hounds in Boroughbridge, a lovely pub, starting at 7.15pm – so again finishing in good time 9.15pm for those who need to be up and off to work the following morning.’ The last of the 4 dates is Friday 20 November when another huge Thorner Invasion is anticipated in Scholes, when Chris & Mick will once again be playing @ The Legendary Buffers from 9.30pm. ‘We also have a possibility of a couple more venues which we hope to confirm soon,’ says Chris. ‘Watch this space! And our new album is also planned for early next year. It will incorporate all of those songs that have become the real crowd pleasers in the past two years.’ There are still some rumours that Chris could be opening for Joe Longthorne at venues throughout the UK next year, either as solo or with Mick.
