Brief Biography.
Using his rusty guitar strings to garrotte the faceless spectres behind all dirgy, mid-tempo, dead-girlfriend, 3-chord acoustic bollocks, Spekki Chris is the sworn enemy of complacency in guitar form. For five years he has been honing his craft, and now his craft really is quite sharp, so please ask your parents' permission first.

Musical style/description/quotes.
Spekki Chris is North London's leading proponent of Folk Metal. Nice people have said things like:
"Makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end."
"Does a great version of 'Guitar Man."
Forthcoming news/plans.
A website will be ready towards the end of May 2003, and Spekki Chris will be gigging extensively in and around London to promote the recent Ep 'Spin Cycle'. More recording will begin shortly…
Recordings made/available. (how to get them)
The new EP 'Spin Cycle', featuring the full line-up of Spekki Chris musicians, and recorded and produced by Keith More, is available either by sending a cheque for £5 to Spekki Chris, Flat 2, 172 Stoke Newington Road, London N16 7UY (please check website or email for any change of address), or from Hobgoblin Music, Rathbone Place, London (near Tottenham Court Road tube). Also available are a very limited number of copies of 'Spekki Chris live at the Virtually Acoustic Club', also £5 and from the same address.
Daydreams.
Continually.
Secret pleasure.
The Carpenters 'Gold' Album.
Favourite memory.
I've tried for ages, but I can't quite remember…
Longest hour.
Shortest hour.
I find one hour tends to be much the same length as another.
Favourite gadget/luxury.
Our hammock.
Itchiest irritation.
Car horns.
Best understanding.
"The earth quakes and the heavens rattle. The beasts of nature flock together, whilst the nations of men flock apart; volcanoes usher up heat whilst elsewhere water becomes ice and melts; and then on other days it just rains.
Indeed do many things come to pass." Lord Omar Khayaam Ravenhurst KSC, 'The Honest Book of Truth'
Greatest confusion.
Why can't you get gravy on your chips anywhere in London?
