He met John in 1986 and persuaded him to get up and sing a couple of songs with the band he was playing with at that time "The Waiters"  Chris Ampleford was also in The Waiters at that time so  it was all meant to be.

 

 

Chris Ampleford   Guitar/Keyboards/ Vocals

 

Chris brings some great talent to  THE ROCK'N'ROLL ALLSTARS.  He has also been playing in bands around Auckland and in Australia since the 70's. His guitar playing is admired by many. From the clean sound of 

The  Shadows to the bluesy sound of Clapton Chris does it all with ease. His skill on the Keyboard adds another dimension to the band and he swaps between the two with seemingly little effort. Chris also does great vocals as well and always fills the dance floor with his rendition of  "Dance The Night Away"
