Chris’s songs over the last 20 years or more have been a reminder to find the comic absurdity in many aspects of our society and the campaigns to change it for the better. Reminding us that in being able to laugh at ourselves, we can then feel freer to experiment and enjoy a culture with more complex forms of expression being understood.
He’s gone from risking his own skin walking into dodgy far-right pubs to sing songs making fun of racism, to writing songs making light of the head spinning speed in the 90s in which someone could go from leafleting against fox hunting to being asked to help liberate beagles from a laboratory.

Travelling, travelling, travelling free, travelling down the road
Travelling, travelling, travelling free, never do what we’ve been told
Travelling, travelling, travelling light, travelling through the night
Travelling, travelling, travelling light, and everything’s alright
Travelling, travelling, travelling free, anywhere we like
Travelling, travelling, travelling free, on our feet or on our bike
Travelling, travelling, travelling free, travelling down the road
Travelling, travelling, travelling free, never do what I’ve been told
