Who is Chris Rea?

About Chris Rea

Chris Rea is a singer/songwriter, born in Middlesbrough, North East UK.
The name "Rea" (pronounced "Ree-ah") was well-known locally thanks torea1 the chain of "Rea's Ice-cream" shops owned by Camillo Rea, his father. In later years the chain folded except for one shop operated by Camillo himself. He played his son's music constantly inside the shop, and as a north east resident myself  I regularly visited this ice cream parlour, oblivious to that fact that he was already establishing a name for himself even then in the music industry.rea3

I have recently been fortunate enough to get hold of tickets to see his well received 2008 tour, fantastic news after a recent battle with his health, and something I am really looking forward to.


If you have never had the pleasure of hearing him sing or watch in awe at his guitar solos, then I hope this is an education for you.
