Sirkus Post - August Dates
Very excited to announce two new dates in August, where I'll be performing 'Sirkus Post Alternative Tunings'
Thursday 6th at The Old Forge in Cranford and Sunday 9th aboard the Golden Hinde, St Mary Overie Dock, in London. Tickets for both are on sale now.
Sirkus Post
Thursday 13th November, will be the date of my first, intimate, solo instrumental gig. I'll be performing tracks from 'Sirkus Post - Alternative Tunings Vol. 1', my debut, solely instrumental project, along with other guitar works. The sold out event will be held at The House on Props, in Polperro, Cornwall.
Del Amitri Headline Tour 2024
Really enjoyed touring with the band in December. Playing sold out venues, including Shepherds Bush, Usher Hall, Edinburgh and two nights in Glasgow at the Barrowlands. The band sounded great and the audiences were fantastic. Hope to do it all again soon.
MUSIC
Utopian Anthem ‘82 A revamped version of one my personal favourites. Inspired by Carl Orff’s Gassenhaur, which I first heard on the soundtrack to the film Badlands with Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen… one of my favourite movies. Hans Zimmer was clearly influenced by the same piece music for his True Romance, Your So Cool (Main Title) composition. Definitely benefits, IMO, from playing along with the metronome/click, I’m going for that Kraftwerk on an acoustic guitar feel…!?!? Thanks for listening.
Live Dates
Del Amitri 2024, supporting Simple Minds UK & Europe
Del Amitri are pleased to announce that they will be joining Simple Minds, as their special guests on their 'Global Tour' of the UK & Europe this Spring. Some of the great venues include the O2 London & the OVO Hydro Glasgow.
Last Summer On Earth Tour - US 2023
June and July saw the Dels take on an epic 41 date tour, across the States, with the Barenaked Ladies, Semisonic and Five for Fighting. It was a brilliant tour, one of the very best that I've had the pleasure of being involved in.
Del Amitri - North American Tour 2022
What an absolute pleasure it was to open the shows, for the band, throughout the coast to coast tour of the US, earlier this year. A big thank you to all of you that came along to support us. It was probably the hardest tour, in terms of the vast distances travelled on the bus, covid restrictions and performing twice every night, but I loved every minute of it.
Del Amitri - Fatal Mistakes
The band's first new studio album since 2002, reached number 5 in the UK album charts and featured as 'Album of the week' on BBC Radio 2's Ken Bruce show. Very proud to a part of it all. The album also includes a Currie/Dollimore song, 'Mockingbird, Copy Me Now'.
John Fahey - A Song a Day
During the month of February 2017, Kris uploaded an instrumental song a day to his You Tube channel, in memory and appreciation of John Fahey. Fahey was born on February 28th 1939 and passed away on February 22nd 2001. John Fahey has been a huge inspiration to Kris, and this gives him the chance to play songs both written by the main man himself and some original tunes penned by Kris.
