“Those of you who attended the gig on Friday may remember that I announced at the end of the set that it would be our last gig for a long while. For those of you who weren’t there, here’s an explanation:

Over the last few weeks and months things have been going on in and around the band that have not allowed all members to put in 100% of the effort that is required for a band to work. Normally I enjoy being in a band, especially this band as its been my creation, and I would look forward to practicing, writing new songs, getting them sounding better and preparing for gigs. This enjoyment is just not there for me anymore, and I think the rest of the guys feel the same.

So the long and short of it is – there is no Chris Flood Band for the forseeable future. If we feel like picking it up again in the future then I’m sure we will.

Meanwhile, I’ve got an acoustic show at GuitarFest at 11am on September 5th, after that – who knows? Music has always been a big part of my life, but there are other things that need attention too.”

It’s a damn shame they have decided to split but here’s hoping they won’t be gone forever.

Chris Flood’s debut album ‘Opinion Is Not A Substitute For Reason’ is still available on CD from our shop (where you can also pick up some merch) and also CD Baby. You can also download it from iTunes, Amazon MP3 and most other download stores.
