Chris Hargrave born March 9 1954, is a British rock guitarist and a founder member of Seven Year Itch and The Flying Ducks.
From his early association with original 70's pub rockers BEES MAKE HONEY, Chris Hargrave has clocked up countless road miles playing in bars, clubs, festivals, honky tonks, dives and concert halls all over the UK, Scandinavia and Europe.
As well as fronting his own bands SEVEN YEAR ITCH (featuring the legendary ALBERT LEE on guitar), a stint with CHARLIE WHITNEY (ex guitarist with FAMILY) in the hard touring RHYTHM METHOD and seven years with his successful blues band THE FLYING DUCKS, Chris has written songs both for himself and other artists (including a number one in Norway), lent his voice to countless recording sessions at home and abroad, and worked along side the likes of TEX COMER and FRAN BYRNE from ACE, STEVE SIMPSON from RONNIE LANE'S SLIM CHANCE and ROGER CHAPMAN.
