Christopher Donald »Chris« Barber was born on 17 April 1930 in Hertfordshire, north of London. He celebrates his 90th birthday 2020! After over 65 years on the world’s biggest stages, Chris Barber has regrettably decided to retire from show business following a fall. Since his accident, his band has performed all concerts without their eponym to great acclaim.
Chris Barber’s biggest wish is that his music will continue to be played for the fans by his ensemble, whose members have accompanied him for decades. The musicians that make up Barber’s band are not only soloists of extraordinary musicality and astonishing improvisational skills, but also entertainers with proverbial British dry humour.
