THIS YEAR WE HAD TO SADLY SAY GOODBYE TO CHIV OUR LEAD GUITARIST WHAT A LOVELY AND TALENTED MAN HE WAS TO WORK ALONGSIDE HE WAS LOVED BY MANY AND WILL BE IN THE HEARTS OF MANY PEOPLE FOR YEARS TO COME ... WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITE MOMENTS WITH CHIV IN HIS MEMORY
HI EVERYBODY, MY NAME IS ROBBIE KNOWN AS 'CHIVY'. THE DICTIONARY SAYS THAT IT MEANS TO HARRASS, NUFF SAID. I GOT MY FIRST GUITAR IN 1955 AND THE FIRST SONG I LEARNED TO SING, APART FROM SCHOOL AND CHURCH MUSIC, WAS 'ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY, SO LONG AGO YEAH'. BETWEEN THEN AND NOW IS A LIFETIME AND THAT COVERS A MULTITUDE OF MUSIC. I'VE PLAYED ALL GENRES OF MUSIC IN DOU'S, TRIO'S, BANDS, BIG BANDS AND ONCE PLAYED SECOND CLARINET IN AN ORCHESTRA. I'VE WORKED WITH A HOST OF PERFORMERS ON THE COUNTRY AND WESTERN CIRCUIT AND OTHER GENRES OF MUSIC, FAR TOO MANY TO MENTION. EVEN THE FAMOUS ONES "HI GOD" NAME DROPPER! ANYWAY THATS ALL SO FAR. SEE YOU ALL OUT AND ABOUT, CHIVY
