During a career in music, spanning four decades, Kris Dollimore has graced some of the world’s greatest stages and has played with many international bands and artists, including The Godfathers, The Damned, Dee Dee Ramone, Johnny Thunders, Adam Ant and since 1997, Del Amitri.
“Kris burns with a passion for his music and wants to bring it to as many people as possible. If you know him from his past life, don’t fear change. Follow Kris Dollimore down new roads and you’ll feel all the richer for it.”
His guitar skills have always been admired, in whichever genre he has played. Now those skills are honed to perfection and they need to be. He has chosen a field where his playing is at its most exposed. A man, a guitar and sometimes a voice. No room for error and nowhere to hide. With largely an acoustic repertoire, a fair portion of that being instrumental, in the vein of John Fahey and Jack Rose, precision playing is expected and delivered.
Kris took the decision to perform as a solo artist 16 years ago and has toured relentlessly, travelling the UK and Europe, earning a hard core following of loyal fans which is growing by the day. This is backed up by the success of his first four albums, 02/01/1978, Now Was the Time, No Ghosts In This House, and All Grown Up, which all received great reviews from the music press, both at home and abroad. All Grown Up was featured on Radio 2’s Blues Show, and a track from the album reached number 4 in the iTunes Blues chart.
