Chris Davidson: On his unusual 'Boogie Box' bass, a one string instrument that is also known as a 'Tea Chest Bass', Chris is often found playing next to Julian Phillips' piano and with The Stuff boogie woogie band.

Chris 'Box' Davidson 'Boogie Box Player'. The box has had many names like, skiffle bass, box bass, tea chest bass, and you may know a few more names, mine is called “The Boogie Box” made and  played  by me. I first  played a box back in the 1950/60,s then the style of music was Skiffle, singing and playing the harmonica, washboard and the box. So I sang and played all types of music, made and played a few different kinds of Boxes until the late 1970’s. I then went into a new area of music for me, English Folk, playing various instruments and singing as a duet and sometimes as a trio with both serious folk and some comedy. Good times were had by all. Better times where ahead. In the early 90,s I met up with “Juliann Phillips, Boogie Piano Player Extraordinaire” and was asked to in-fill with him and boogie woogie and blues band ' The Stuff' and I have been with them ever since. I also get around a fair bit with Julian Phillips as a duo. So, the“Boogie Box Player” was re-born, and this is me.
