Walking on the Beach – the CD came out in early summer 2009. It includes audience favourites such as Things to do Before I Die, Walking on the Beach, A Horse on Radio and Crazy Dreams

John Blackwell played lead guitar with Gareth Huw Davies on bass and piano. Drumming was shared by Roy Dodds and Jim Hart. Gareth did an amazing job of arranging.

Appearances in 2009 included the Oxford Literary Festival.

The Brighton Fringe Festival and The Hurstpierpoint Festival.

Unmissable. The pick of the week at Brighton Festival Fringe. Chris Sykes is a safe bet for a good night out.

Mellow, sprightly, thoughtful, melodic, amusing, romantic and immensely enjoyable! I was knocked out. An excellent production.’
