More details on this to follow. 

But before all that, Chris will spend the summer at various festivals performing music as well as hosting talks and continues his Artist in Residence spot at The Royal Pavilion & Museum Brighton until September.

Alongside writing and touring, Chris speaks regularly at conferences and runs seminars and workshops.
