Celebrated as the frontman for the giant 70’s rock band Smokie, who had numerous hits with singles such as ‘Living Next Door to Alice’, 'Needles and Pins', ‘I’ll Meet You at Midnight’ and ‘Lay Back in the Arms of Someone’. Chris’s distinctive vocal tone wrapped itself around an iconic guitar rock sound, creating a sort of mixture between Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Since leaving the band in 1986, Chris Norman has gone on to carve a successful solo career, his debut single ‘Midnight Lady’ went on to become a massive hit throughout Europe including holding the No.1 spot in Germany for 6 weeks. In addition, Chris's 1979 duet with Suzi Quatro 'Stumblin' In' has received well over 100 million streams and was recently featured in the acclaimed Paul Thomas Anderson movie 'Licorice Pizza'.
