So here’s Chris (much slimmer, and with more hair …. when was that ?
Some time ago … has to be !!) in the Mess at Mount Pleasant, on
the Falklands with cans of ‘CSB’ (hey…isn’t that his initials ?!)
and then on-stage in Georgetown, Ascension Island, en-route home from
Christmas with the Troops on the Falklands (apologies for the poor-quality pics)
► Take a look at an excerpt from a TV show where Chris (seemingly) took great delight in chopping Desmond’s head off !!

We were all (including Gina !) featured on a series of ‘shorts’ entitled

On Ch4’s ‘3-minute Wonder’ !!!!
And Charlie & Chris appeared on Sky TV’s
‘BRAINIAC’
We were one of the ‘Shocking Acts’, and our ‘episode’ was originally
broadcast in 2008, and then repeated regularly numerous times since !!
Did you see me (without any of the ‘gang’) on
‘The Weakest Link’
They included all the ‘good’ bits, including a nice bit of ‘business’ I did with Anne, when I ‘ventriloquised’ the ‘immortal’ words and Anne just opened & shut her mouth !! Oh, yes (and just in case you really are interested)
….. I didn’t win (big ‘aaah’ !!), but did get through to the final three !! (We woz robbed missus !!!!)
► Here are some genuine quotes from ‘trade’ newspaper ‘The Stage’ …….
► “..most polished of all ventriloquists….”
► “..a name synonymous with the superior end of the business of Ventriloquism..”
► “.. a formidable live act with a reputation built on all-round appeal.”
► “.. Great fun from one of the UK’s leading exponents..”
► “…a tremendously professional act…not many Vents…he is undoubtedly one of the best.”
► “…Highlight of the evening…the experience of Chris shows in every move and word.”
► “…that avuncular Vent with the velvety voice…”
► “…rich in experience…material is original & saucy…
Indulges in interchanges (with Desmond and Charlie)
which prove his mastery of the voice-throwing art.”
► “ … banter with his ‘partners’ is seamless … always good to see an experienced Pro in action.”
► “… years of operatic training have bequeathed him the legacies of a magnificent (singing) voice and a
system of breath-control which makes him one of the best ventriloquial technicians in the business.”
► Good-quality PA system
► Pre-mix control system forms part of our on-Stage props
► Either fully self-contained, or through in-house PA
► Able to control all our sound and ‘effects’ from Stage
► Clear, seven-piece Band parts; will always work with ‘live’ musicians whenever appropriate/practicable
