Chris Judge Smith

Chris Judge Smith

Chris Judge Smith – bębny, instrumenty perkusyjne, śpiew, okaryna.
Po spotkaniu z Peterem Hammillem w 1967 na uniwersytecie w Manchester razem założyli VDGG (nazwę wymyślił CJS).
W zespole grał do 1968 i brał udział w nagraniu singla „People You Were Going To”.
W latach 70-tych i 80-tych wraz z Maxem Hutchinsonem napisał kilka musicali, a potem udzielał się jako twórca librett to utworów klasycznych – i oczywiście napisał chyba najsłynniejsze z nich do opery Petera Hammilla (na podstawie opowiadania Edgara Allana Poe) „The Fall of the House of Usher”.
Jest autorem lub współautorem kilku piosenek nagranych przez Petera Hammilla – m.in. Viking, Imperial Zeppelin, Time For A Change i Been Alone So Long (pełny wykaz – http://www.judge-smith.com/musicography.php).
