Happy Anniversary Mr Catalyst

Just thought Chris' ten years with the (live) band should be acknowledged. Already for the past few years he's been the third longest-serving member of the band (excluding Doktors and Nurses), but August 2015 marks the tenth anniversary of his first gigs with the band.
I know most long-term (and more recent) fans have found his efforts both on and off stage a breath of fresh air. (At the risk of sounding like a Thatcher fan at a Tory Party Conference in the late 80's), here's to the next ten years!

True, 2005 ... those were the days of free secret gigs and stuff ... http://tours.tsom.org/2005/concerts/20050802.htm
I've seen him play for the first time a few days later in Tilburg ... a lovely gig, anyway ... ;D ...

Absolutely seconded! There's surely no-one who has done more for the band in the past ten years than him ... far more than a little guitar-acting ... so ...



Congrats, Chris!!!

Go Chris.
Thanks for all the axe work & my it continue :D

Not only have you been a welcome addition to the Sisters, you've managed to record & release more albums in 10 years than The Sisters have in over 30.

He was/is a bit of fresh air, he opened TSOM a bit to his fanbase after the door to Reptile House were closed long time ago, he has a lot of enthusiasm being on stage and playing, that enthusiasm is easy to see, and can be catch as easy as flu. Thanks for all that, and for nice female backing vocals.

I think it's fair to say that Chris, and Ben too, lest we forget, has totally reinvigorated the band following a particularly moribund and grim period.
