Comment: Just discovered this web page, such a lovely idea! Chris was an amazing guy, and one I had the pleasure working with onboard Ocean Village! always so positive, and encouraging....deeply missed, but never forgotten!

Comment: Thanks for doing this Paul. Chris would be so embarrassed by it but I know of no-one who deserves it more. None of us will forget our own memories of a great guy but its even better to share them.

Comment: It's been a long time since Chris and I shared beers at the college bar. While I may have lost touch with him I know that I hadn't lost the friendship. A great man with great talent & greatly missed.

Comment: I remember Chris as a young boy in the group Plan of Action. He was full of energy and enthusiasm such a nice guy. Fond memories.

Comment: I often check this site out just to share in everyone's happy memories of our great friend. This is such a wonderful site, well done! Can't wait to see other words being sent in, and really looking forward to an enjoyable and momentous night later in Feb. Maria.x

Comment: Well a big hello there everyone! Wags this is a wonderful tribute to Mr Caswell. Thank you so much for creating it! Looking forward to seeing everyone at the concert and celebrating a true legend of our time! X

Comment: Hi Wags, I first met Chris when I was a young teenager, singing in the talent show! My family are regulars & he soon became a close family friend, Chris always supported me and had a lot of faith in me- always trying to get me to audition again & again. I have many memories of Chris, with a beer and a fag in Hudsons for a good knees up!! I don't think going to Mill Rythe would ever be the same without Chris- he was the spirit of that camp! I will truly miss him, thanks for the site Wags, Lou x

Comment: I had the honour of giving the memorial tribute at his funeral - trying to keep the tears at bay was one of the hardest tasks for me. I just stumbled on this site following a note from Barrie about the concert and find myself having a little tear sat in the newsroom, an unusual site for us toughie journos! Looking at this reminds me what a lovely character Chris was, such a unique and happy boy. I'd like to hear him go "testing waaaan two, waaaaan two" today and sing a duet, one last time.

Comment: Hi, just stumbled on this website too late to make it to the concert this coming Sunday, but what a fansastic way of remembering Chris. I was a Havenmate at Mill Rythe and was lucky enough to remember Chris' first day at the park. Over the two years I worked with Chris he produced amazing arrangements and harmonies for Oliver and Miss Saigon while still finding time to croone away in Hudsons. Chris, you had amazing talent, a genuine nice guy, and will be missed by all, Diolch yn Fawr

Comment: Chris was a great friend to my family over our many visits to Mill Rythe and when we used to come to the Island for our trips to see my in-laws. He was a great encouragement to both my girls by encouraging one into show biz/entertainment (which she is now doing professionally) and the other one who had a bad time during her teenage years. We have many fond memorries (especially the 'bus' quiz question) and many photos. He is very much missed, as my girls still want to tell him about their successes.

Comment: Gutted that i'm missing the gig, hope everyone has a fantastic time in memory of a fantastic bloke. Miss you buddy.

Comment: I just wanted to touch base before Chris's memorial concert, as I'm now living in the US and applying for my Green card I can't leave the US right now so I can't make the concert. I'll be there in spirit though, some of my happiest memories are with Chris at Mill Rythe, he was a great friend and I miss him dearly. This website is a wonderful resource though when I need to hear some "Chrisisms!" Cheers everyone, enjoy the concert and Caz, do you remember Paper Moon? (a private joke!)Love Emma.

Comment: Sorry I couldn't be at the memorial concert but I was thinking of you all. Chris touched so many people and he is still in all our thoughts. Great site Manc! xx

Comment: What a fantastic night! It was lovely to see everyone, and I only hope 'We'll Meet Again.' We need to sort out a way of exchanging photos (mine are already on Facebook, in the Mill Rythe - the good 'ol days group). Once again, it was a great night, and we definitely raised a glass (or several) to the wonderful Mr. Chris Caswell.x

Comment: Such a good night and so well organised! We had a great time and it was a fitting tribute to a wonderful friend. It was really lovely to meet all of you and I hope we'll do it again. If anyone comes to South Wales and fancies continuing the traditional sing song around a piano until the early hours of the morning give me a call, I'll be glad to join you. Sally Ann

Comment: I only met Chris the twice but as he did with everyone he left a lasting impression. As for the Concert last Sunday night, anyone who missed it will have no idea just what an emotional and heart felt time they did miss. Keep up the good work on this site.

Comment: Hi. I just wanted to appologise to anybody that was at the concert that I did not say hello to, I just felt so busy and run off my feet, but wanted to get out there and see everyone, I wasn't being rude honest. P.S Thanks to all of you that made it to the gig I love you all. Alan

Comment: I met Chris at Beaufort Hill Infants and knew him through school and beyond. I remember him coming to my 14th birthday party with a bottle of Advocaat, swiftly confiscated by my Mam. Also, a singing sesh at Chris's Mam's house doing Band Aid that SAE still probably has the tape of. We never did organise that school reunion, buddy. Great site, Lisa.

Comment: This truly is a wonderful idea to remember Chris. We spent all our evenings with him on our visits to Mill Rythe over the years. He was a wonderful man and good friend. We will always miss him and never forget him.

Comment: What a brilliant site! Such a fitting tribute to someone who lived and breathed music. I love Hannah's comment about soundchecking! So true. Chris was one of a kind.

Comment: Two years have passed but you're not forgotten Chris. Cath

Comment: Just looked at the site. What a fantastic collection of tributes aad memories of Chris. Made me realise that it was a privilege to have known Chris and to have been associated with his family. I realised that when looking at all the photos I was smiling. Says it all really!

Comment: Lee showed me this site. I had the pleasure of Chris's company in Ebbw Vale comp and there was a moment where I though he was God's gift to women. Lady In REd always made me smile and whenever I hear it, it reminds me of Chris. what a character! I'm sure he will be missed by all who knew him. He was a fantastic guy.

Comment: I had the pleasure of playing with Chris in Plan of Action. Chris taught me a lot in the early days...not least of all the notes on my fretbaord and an occasional scale!! I recall many trips to London for Saturday Superstore (I do wonder if it's still horrible being in love when your 8 and a half!!!) and many more trips to the working mans clubs of the valleys to earn our stripes and get our apprenticeship. Happy days and fond memories of Chris.

Comment: What we wouldn't give to see Chris open yet another naff pair of socks today. Our thoughts are with Kay, Barrie and Jaime, as they always are with Chris. Janice, Peter, Felicity, Stephanie and Eleanor

Comment: I worked at Mill Rythe 1996-1998 and remember Chris so well. Always cheerful and managed to cheer anybody up no matter how bad the day - such a shock. RIP from all those who knew you.

Comment: I worked at Mill Rythe summer 97/98 & Chris never failed to make me smile when I was missing home.....Such a shame but memories of Chris will continue to put a smile on my face....RIP mate xxx

Comment: 3 years ago lost a great musician and a wonderful friend. Chris and his band were the first to back my show The Summit of Swing. It was perfect then as it was on Ocean Village 5 years later. A true gent, Missed, Loved, and not forgotten.

Comment: I was at college with Chris and he was a really great friend. Always willing to play the piano for us Traverway girlies and put up with us tunelessly wailing along to Les Mis and Blood Brothers!!! He was also my rock when my mother was taken seriously ill and I will never forget his kindness, loyalty and discretion. I often think of him and it is always with a smile, a great character and a great man xxx
