 CHRIS ELDON LEE runs the annual Shrewsbury Summer Season arts festival and has worked in BBC Radio for 25 years. He was producer on Radio 4' s famous "Kaleidoscope" programme for ten years and also produced "Pick of the Week".
He even won an award once, but sadly never got to read the Shipping Forecast.
Chris started writing silly songs more than a decade ago as a blessed relief "from having to be so serious on the wireless". He also writes plays which actually get performed - and was recently writer in residence on a Russian Ice Breaker in The Antarctic in temperatures well below "Frozen to Death".
At Christmas Chris has a reputation for being a particularly naughty village hall pantomime baddie. People still talk about the pink socks he wore when playing Abanazar in 1837.
Chris quite likes performing with "Three Men in a Bow Tie" because he gets paid more for taking the mickey out of current affairs on stage than he ever did for being serious about them for the BBC. |
