Welcome to the official Radio Stars web site. Having been a fan since the early days and attended many gigs, I got to know Andy Ellison during 1978, and nearly 30 years on we are still very good friends. Along the way Martin Gordon, Chris Townson and Ian MacLeod have also become very good friends.

 

I hope you enjoy looking around and if you can add anything or correct anything please get in touch.

This website is dedicated to the life and wild times of
Chris Townson
July 24th 1947 - February 10th 2008

A Book of Remembrance is open at http://www.christownson.wordpress.com

Being a drummer myself, Chris was one of my biggest influences and to know him as a friend for the last 20 years has been an absolute pleasure.

From Andy,
It is with a very heavy heart, that I bring you the sad news that my best friend and fellow musician Chris Townson died today, (Sunday, February 10th).

I have known Chris since our school days together at Box Hill boarding school in Surrey, where we formed a friendship that took us into some of the wildest regions of rock and roll.

We shared the same sense of humour and rebellious fun, and I shall miss him dearly. It was only a few months ago that we were playing together in Johns Children, and Chris was still trying to decapitate me with his ride cymbal, and throwing his drums at me.

Bye Chris, I'll miss you.
