Profile Chris Irvine coming from Belfast of North Ireland and got attentions in AOR scene after releasing songs like “Frozen Rivers” and “In Need Of An Angel”. He released a self titled album in 1992 through Red Bus Music working with the same production team (Peter Yellowstone and Phil Radford) that dealt with the band Colorhaus. Chris happens to be the biggest fan of the eighties duo Go West, and on this album, you hear their influences, as well as the BLVD sound as peterpoland so rightly mentioned. The album itself is a cross between BLVD, Tim Feehan, Go west and Jimmy Martin. A lot of keys, nice guitars, great vocals almost identical to David Forbes and memorable melodies. Not to be confused with wrestler and bodybuilder Chris “Jericho” Irvine. A must have album and a bit rare.
