2009 was a busy year for Chris. "Mornings in the Arena" on the last Friday of every month at the Pullman Reef Hotel Casino was a huge success and 2010 will see the continuation of this show. 2010 will also see Chris back in the studio in Sydney to complete work on an exciting recording project with the well-respected composer and instrumentalist Art Phillips.

Highlights of the year included performing at the 100th Anniversary of the Cairns Chamber of Commerce and hosting and performing at Carols By Candlelight to the largest crowd ever at Fogarty Park.
