We’ve Got Chris Rea On Board!

British Guitar Legend Gets Hold Of A SlideRIG-CD

On a sunny day in late May, we received an order for a SlideRIG Compact Deluxe from a Mr Chris Rea – hoping that it wasn’t a coincidence and that we had indeed sold a compressor pedal to the British slide sovereign we confirmed the order.

A few days later an envelope came through the post containing a cheque with the distinctive signature of the English guitarist. So cool!

Instantly recognisable from his husky voice and slide guitar, Chris Rea had a string of hits in the 1980s including, Josephine, On the Beach, and Driving Home For Christmas then slid to the top of the UK in 1989 with his number 1 album, Road to Hell. Rea then performed on the Band Aid II, Do They Know It’s Christmas.

Chris has since secured his position as part of the British guitarist establishment with 25 albums released and a seemingly non-stop tour schedule.
