GeneralBiography

Christopher (Chris) Renshaw
Chris has been singing and playing in bands for over twenty five years and joined the society in 1995 playing many leading and supporting roles since then. Chris achieved his ambition of following in the tap dancing steps of Gene Kelly in taking the lead in “Singin’ in the Rain” and every night looked forward to getting wet in the Rain Scene! Chris has often partnered his wife Tracey (who he met in the society) on stage and they have a daughter called Holly who welcomed the arrival of her baby sister Alice, born only days after the final performance of “Singin’ in the Rain”.
