I was at Dorridge junior school with Chris and remember him drumming. So sad to learn he’s passed.

Flat out one of the most beautiful pieces of music Ive ever heard...even if Im eight and a half years late tp say so Thanks

I now understand what Mike meant with wanting to make dangerous music

This needs more listeners!

Brave music, bravo! ♡

beautiful beth saw her in a marquee in norfolk what a singer

what a great track and video, reminds me of dreams and strange but fantastic journeys of the mind, definitely a soundtrack of the unconscious , wunderbar, Xiane

Trop chouette ! C'est du bel ouvrage, très bien soigné. Du son de la glace jusqu'au son des cordes du piano et de la guitare, tout est merveilleusement orchestré et filmé. La musique est splendide Bravo Stanislas

Thank you midge.

Its a soundtrack looking for a movie.....great atmospherics.

One of the drummers who will always stick in my mind. I was only fortunate enough to ever see him once when I was 14when he played with NYJO in my hometown. He left a mark on me as a drummer that day forever. Someone who's brief encounter with lasted me a lifetime and to this day I can count as a trumpet inspiration to me. Great guy, fantastic musician. Still a tragic loss. Rest in rhythmical peace forever Chris.

What happened Michael, All that JD burnt out your healthy brain cells. Yeah your in some 'Space' and 'Time' but its not here & certainly not of this time!

Sounds like King Crimson re-invented. Great esoteric music...

awesome ;)

Wow she is really a great singer; great band too and nice original treatment of the song.

Wow! beautiful!!!

his solo in the recording of have you seen them cakes was legendary. he was a kind, great guy and one the finest drummers I've ever seen. he is a great loss to the world of music.

awesome, gives me goose bumps..THX!!!

this gives me goose bumps..thx chivchogs !!!

@andyh50 hi jasmine - i miss everyone too... hopefully i'll be in to see everyone soon x

If you want to hear Chris playing some straight ahead big band swinging drumming, check out the Pop Idol Big Band CD from a few years ago. Some great arrangements and some really fine drumming by Chris.

you were among the best, chris. loved to watch you play at the boaters inn. rest in peace my friend.

hello miss pullen im in year five im jasmine hampton helloooo!!! i miss u!

Here here, I saw him play so many times. A great musician. Such a nice sociable man, always willing to spare time to talk. And so gracious. Thanks

In the court of the crimson king is Michael Giles along with Pictures of a City and many others. Michael Giles left the spotlight shortly there after but he turned alot of drummers heads back in the day. I still listen to his stuff to this day and still am inspired. he never compromised his talent. Ya gotta respect that.

@youngsongwriters a band called King Crimson :) One of the greatest bands ever.

@youngsongwriters Just listen to 21st century schizoid man and Pictures of a city by King Crimson. Then you'll know what Giles is all about =)

tearing it up as always x

A beautiful player and a wonderful man.

A GREAT KIND PERSON AND FRIEND, THANK YOU CHRIS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND KINDNESS WITH RICHARD MY SON ?

sounds like a find jazz drummer. God bless

Thank you so much for posting this video, I'm going to practice so hard as it has really brought home how precious and fragile life is. What an awesome inspiring drummer, my deepest condolences.

Sad news - looked like a good player.

Thanks for eveything Chris.
