WhoIsWho.

SPEDDING, CHRIS.

17 june '44. On of the most brittish versatile session guitarist in the 70 & 80-ies. But in the new millenium he is back on tour with his own band.
Battered Ornament is one of his bands in the 70-ies, with Pete Bown (also someone from the Harvest-label), Shark is another.
Other solo-efforts are: Hurt ('77) & Guitar Grafitti ('77).
Begin 2001 he goes on a small european tour, he did a gig in Verviers (Belgium) for example. Maybe that was an try-out for the tour what he did with Roxy Music (and agian they'll visit Belgium at Werchter, a great rock-event).
