	Biography
		Chris is once again playing live together with his "old" Smokie friends: there is a big charity concert in aid of the victims of the Bradford football stadion fire disaster featuring lots of musicians living in the Yorkshire area.
		Chris is singing "Fearless hearts", the title song for a German TV series which is called "Alarm-Code 112".
		Chris and Linda are happily married for more than 27 years now which certainly is very rare to find, especially in showbusiness.

	CD Baby: CHRIS NORMAN & RIGA BOYS CHOIR: Christmas Together (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Chris was born in Redcar, Yorkshire, on 25th October 1950, his parents didn't intend that he should pursue a stage career, but when he was just 3 years old, he decided to walk on stage and join the finale line up for the show in which his parents were appearing.
		Chris Norman presents himself in the year 2001 at his best form: for example "When The Indians Cry" a wonderful rock-ballade which gives you a goose pimples effect, "Heartaches" reflects the classical Smokie flair in the actual way of sound, or the track "Sweet Surrender" which has its basic roots in rhythm & blues.
		Chris met his wife Linda in the year 1967 at a Smokie concert in Elgin / Scotland and on March 16th 1970 they got married so there were two jubilees in Chris' family to celebrate last year: 30 years of marriage to his wife Linda and on October 25th Chris had his 50th birthday.

	:: The Chris Norman Ensemble ::
		Hailed as one of the finest flute players of our time, Chris Norman proves over and over again that the simple wooden flute is the original- and still unsurpassed- woodwind of expression, passion, joy and subtlety.
		Chris embarked upon a quest to learn the music from the tradition bearers, travelling across North America and Europe.
		Under Norman's guidance Boxwood has followed the paths of musical oral tradition in Scotland, Ireland, Cape Breton, Quebec, and New England, as well as exploring music of Breton, Galician, Cuban Charanga, Native American and classical Indian styles by inviting tradition bearers, top players and musical visionaries to share their music.

	Rock Ahead: CD Album Review - Chris Norman - Handmade - solo album from vocalist with seventies pop band Smokie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Chris Norman will be a name many people in the UK may well remember from his time with seventies band Smokie.
		Chris left Smokie in the early eighties and his debut single believe it or not was a very credible version of Love Is A Battlefield but sadly Pat Benatar took the honours and the hit with that song.
		Chris has said he would love to tour the UK with this album and feels that with Sanctuary he has a real chance of doing so.

	Music Preview: Chris Norman pushes early music envelope to explore Canada's folk music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Norman plays the wooden flute, not electric guitar, and he left the authenticity of the period instrument movement, not some strict upbringing.
		Norman's adjustment lends a sonic presence to the ensemble's newest recording, "In the Fields in Frost and Snow," with guest vocalist Suzie LeBlanc.
		Norman hopes he can convince even the staunchest devotees of authenticity that the entertainment quality of his presentation is true to the spirit of the quite early music the band plays, even if some of the instruments aren't.

	Chris Norman, Portraits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Also, included in the liner notes is an interview with Chris Norman, which I found to be quite interesting, as it sheds light on some of the origins behind the different styles he plays, and his reasons for doing so.
		Norman, along with Helicon, plays a pair of waltzes, one of which is the unnamed "Waltz from Cape Breton" which I believe is actually "Leaving Lismore" -- a good tune, nonetheless.
		The common denominator is the flute, but Norman plays in so many different styles that the album is a wonderful sampler for someone wishing to be introduced to a variety of types of traditional music.

		Jon Kirkman spoke to Chris about the new album at his home in the Isle of Man just prior to Chris setting out on some promotional dates in Germany.

		Chris Norman's band Smokie scored only a single Top 40 hit in the U.S. In their native Britain, though, they were stars, batting a dozen 45s into the Top 20 between 1975 and 1980.
		Inevitably, Norman launched a solo career which, while not nearly as impressive, was still successful.
		And come back Norman did with a vengeance, in the wake of the show scoring a German Top Ten hit with "Amazing." Amazingly, though, Norman didn't include that number in his set list for his DVD concert, which was recorded live in Germany.

		This CD really can't be seen as a "best of" album, because I think Norman has too many great pieces to fit on one CD, but what it can be seen as is an incredible collaboration of his many years of hard work.

		Tracks 11-14 are a series of American tunes from Norman's "The Man With the Wooden Flute" album, and are a wonderful blend of upbeat little tunes.
