A great light has gone out of the world. A musician who could do the impossible, Chris’s individual phrasing put fire into the band; “Crippled Giant”
People talk about great musicians, Chris Gibson was; “A Great Musician” his ability and ease to go between the world of classical and jazz marks him out as something very special, he was in the tradition of Stéphane Grappelli Yehudi Menuhin and more, but, no one will ever be in his tradition, he was a totally individual musician, and my friend.

Wonderful, thank you, Helena x
I had the pleasure of working at Harper’s music with Chris 50 years ago when I was 17. Later in life I played rhythm guitar backing him playing some amazing melody on the violin. Lovely person and great musician.My thoughts are with Helena and her family at this sad time. Lou Moodie.
