Chris Williams Basildon, Essex, UK

My name is Chris Williams and I am aged 50 and live in the UK. I first discovered the magic of Chris de Burgh when my husband Stewart brought me a 'little' known record called 'Lady In Red' back in 1986. We both became fans very quickly. Our children were brought up on CdeB music !!

We went to our first CdeB concert in September 1992 and since then our life has never been the same, it certainly changed it for the better :-) we have made many friends around the world thanks to Chris's music. Now later this year, Stewart and I will celebrate 25 years of marriage, and some of the celebrations will include going to quite a few CdeB concerts !!

Chris's music has always been a great help to me over the years. As a children's nurse I have witnessed many very traumatic and stressful times, throughout my career, and Chris's music has always been there to help me through these 'bad' times. His singing is like a real 'tonic'......

The reason why I chose 'Tender Hands' is, it has always been one of my favourite CdeB songs of all times, and I love singing along to it !! This was recorded in my 'front room' as I have no access to any kind of professional recording facilities. Like last year, I enjoyed giving it my 'best' shot, and would like to thank, Brian Morten for being so kind and providing me with the music again.

This song did not appear on the tribute CD, but you may download it here to add it as a special bonus track.
