Chris Haines - Bass Guitar

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Hello. Thanks for looking & listening!

Welcome to the latest update . . . (Aug 2008)

An exhaustive rewrite of my fantastic, farcical fable, entitled "Peritwist's Fantarble", will be available shortly at lulu.com

If you're the bloke who's been waiting, my apologies - it's taking a little longer than I expected to do the revision. Your patience is appreciated.

I am also an experienced bass player with a long history of successful touring and recording in the UK and Europe.

Several Top Ten hits in various territories including bands Fringe Benefit, Lick The Tins, The Skavengers (the original one!) and Yeah.

I'm available for original sessions, tours and covers/functions bands.

Solid, colourful, reliable finger-style or pick.

Rock, pop, ska, reggae, motown and much more.

Do take time to listen to my selection of demos - I played bass on all songs above - and please do check back from time to time - it's often updated.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Enjoy! Chris.
