A Totally Unofficial Chris de Burgh page

Introduction

Like many people I first became aware of CdeB because of his classic A Spaceman Came Travelling and then found the album Spanish Train and other stories which really hooked me! I've been to concerts at Apollo Manchester, G-Mex Manchester, Birmingham NEC, Sheffield Arena, Alton Towers, Tatton Park etc. In fact the Alton Towers concert was the second date for me & the lady who is now my wife !

This page will hold info/comments about albums etc and links to other CdeB WWW pages.
The album covers shown on the following pages are taken from CDs in my collection, these are included for illustration and comment only and to aid recognition of Chris de Burgh music in record shops etc !
Any opinions given are mine and mine alone

A plea to CdeB and A&M...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do an Unplugged-style album ! In most of his concerts, Chris does play unaccompanied piano & guitar whilst singing. He does this VERY well indeed - why not capitalise on that strength ?

Chris de Burgh is an artist with A&M Records.
Please respect his and their copyrights !
Why not visit the A&M Records web site.
