While never a formal member of Del Amitri, Chris “joined” the band in 1995 to play drums on the Twisted record, but meanwhile remained a member of the band World Party. He was recruited to play in the place of Brian McDermott, who had left just prior to the recording, and was later replaced by Ashley Soan as Del Amitri’s permanent drummer. Prior to playing with World Party, Chris was a member of Icecycle Works as well as the Lightning Seeds, and now plays in Robbie William’s band.
