The #TPau25 Tour had been announced. The band line-up had been announced. The venues had been announced. All that was left to be announced was the supporting artists for the tour, and I had a feeling that those artists were going to be the cream of the crop!
Chris Corney
Chris Corney had been named as the first supprt act for #TPau25. He is a Songwriter, Musician and Producer from Bedfordshire, UK.
He has been writing, recording and performing music for over 20 years and has performed all over the world as a touring musician.
Chris has recently signed to London/Nashville based publishing company Southern Crossroads Music. He has produced music by artists such as Ronnie Wood, The Quireboys, Joe Elliott (Def Leppard) and Tracie Hunter.
In 2005, Chris' band 'The Ravines' recorded their debut (and only) album "Manifesto Of a Broken Heart", the strength of this album earned Chris a publishing deal with Complete/Universal Music. The album was released in 2006 and won the hearts of the American power-pop scene, to whom it is still considered somewhat of a 'cult classic' album.
Since then, Chris has released 3 solo albums, all of which gaining critical acclaim.
His current album 'Airways Mansions' is available to buy now.

Nick Pendry
Nick Pendry was the third support act to be named for the #TPau25 Tour.
He is a Singer/Songwriter/Musician/Performer.
Born on 5th October 1987 in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, this proud 'Valley Boy' was first introduced to the music of the Stereophonics at the tender age of nine. Their influence has played a significant part in Nick's passion for writing and performing his own songs.
It was at Cyfarthfa High School, (the Welsh translation of which is 'Place of the Barking Dog'), that Nick learned to play drums and guitar before studying Marine Geography at Cardiff University allowing him to indulge in his love of scuba diving.
After graduating, Nick became a teacher at Radyr Primary School, but, after 18 months, left to persue a full time career in music.
He has recently performed for Louis Walsh in Dublin and is set to tour the UK and Channel Islands extensively in 2013.
