Chris Beales

Chris BealesI'm a songwriter, singer and acoustic guitar player from Reading. My songs have roots in rock and blues with a bit of a progressive twist. I like writing about myths and moods and also have a passion for climate change, which sometime comes out in the lyrics.

No Strings Attached

A local ukelele band, performing all genres.

Pickin' Lunchtimers (formerly The Newtowners and The Woodchucks)

The Newtowners/WoodchucksThis group of musical friends play Old-Time music, from the Appalachian Region of America. It's the live music of family and friends who get together and play while sitting on the back porch, enjoying each others company and a few snacks. There's no playlist, someone suggests a tune, and everyone else joins in to the best of their ability. Fun guaranteed. Yee Haw!
