Chris has played in various bands and frequently gigged around the country between 1997-2002. After taking an 11 year sabbatical Chris then felt the time was tight to get back in to the music business and started a cover band. This triggered more song writing and after writing several new songs Chris decided to form an original band and Red Watts was born.

He was joined by lead guitarist Paolo Latham. Paul, originally from the Lake District, had also played in a number of bands based around the North West of England. He brings a style of guitar that both suits the songs and affords great originality.Red Watts - Progressive Rock Band based in the North West UK His melodic solos form the basis of many of the bands' songs.

Drummer Jonny Fontaine hails from Blackpool. The driving drums provide the foundation for the sound that Red Watts achieves - both original and subtle but packing a full power punch. A very tight sound is achieved.

Bassist Howard Page from Bolton has also played in a range of bands both in the North West and, for the past 15 years Scotland where he played with The Menu Band - one of the leading rock bands performing around Loch Lomond at Corporate Events, Private Functions and Weddings. He moved back to the Northwest late 2014.
