Chris Rea - Stainsby Girls

[NickNZ]

A great song, by a great musician who never got the recognition he deserved. Has followed the path HE wants to follow, and bloody good luck to him.

[belindabell2]

Why oh why does Chris always sing with his eyes closed?

And what's with the blonde hair? Is that his natural hair color?

Good song love it!!!!

[Teessider89]

[wilitoto]

Love the sound of his guitar. we dont get to hear this kind of guitar sound these days anymore why is that?

[johnny991965]

@wilitoto That sound is still alive and well, it's a basic slide guitar sound. Check out Ryan Bingham :-)

Would like some help on trying to figure out how to play the intro on this song w/guitar. Thanks.

[cockhead1000]

Wow. Love has entered the room. But can this man play a guitar, sing and blow you away. Heard him first in the eighties but it sounds even better now. Go Chris Rea!!!!!

[Steviechain]

[TheTfortwo]

[denfrost]

my 2 sons went to this school now called acklam grange, both musicians, i always wanted them to play this song at the talent show but never did :(

[EQRSC]

mY two daughters went to Acklam Grange - formerly Stainsby.

Chris,however, went to St Mary's College boys grammar school.

St Mary's football team made a point of beating Stainsby.

Come home Chris!
