gorgeous, wistful folk by one man and a guitar, accompanying himself with a veritable toyshop’s worth of rainbow-coloured bells and plastic percussion-last years girl
"Esperi layers the most colourful instruments using a loop pedal. Rainbow coloured bells, serenading guitar, meandering xylophone and a whole host of sounds. The intricacies created were at points majestic yet fragile enough that it was like watching feathers falling and hitting the air like bows wafting upon violins. One mans journey into sleep is another man’s dance through the fields. That is the beauty of Esperi, you are left wistful yet elated after seeing him live."
Halina Rifai-Glasgow PodcART
"Like going to the pantomime with the cub scouts " Mixu (friend)
"It’s really difficult to put into words what Chris Lee- Marr’s performance was like. It was quiet, bizarre, breathtaking, claustrophobic, impressive and intense; at times it was just jaw dropping. Playing solo, Chris managed to conjure some absolutely magical moments by combining his unbelievable guitar playing with some quite beautiful moments of musical mayhem. Whether it was by recording himself while playing then adding layer upon layer of instrumentation on top of the recording, or by his magical feet tapping bells while playing guitar, the outcome was some kind of beautiful madness. One of the most low key and laid back performances I have witnessed, at times there was an intensity that made the room feel as if the air had been sucked out and we were left with a vacuum surrounded by music. Set highlights Dialled and Proverb are amazing songs deserving of a huge audience, you can get the Esperi album from the myspace." Sean Mcann - Glasgow PodcART
sound like music to put a baby to sleep with, or like a man singing on

The Droothys concert review is now up on the main website at: www.deadearnest.btinternet.co.uk/Dundee.htm and the EP review will be up on the site within 7 days - already played it on the Radio North Angus show. Hope to catch you soon.
Glad it's been going well. My friends were at Aberdeen and loved it! Thanks for listening. We'll have an E.P launch for it in the next month or so. We'll let you know when they are :)
lovely stuff last night. hope you and david managed a good nights sleep. i wasnt able to get back to the house as i had already commited to going out to meet people for a birthday party. see you around mate. t
Hi Chris, hope you're well. Good to see Esperi's name out and about. Will really need to try and catch up, I feel I've been terribly remiss. Anyhow, is a piece of spam OK? Will you be playing?
Saw the footage of the Grand. Superb as ever. Really sorry I didnt make it down. Am going to be rocking along to the Wee Red Show on wednesday and trying to get a bit of a following down aswell. Should be a cracker!
Anyways just wanted to say well done and ill see you wednesday! You got some info for that show for me to pass on? Doors price etc.
hey there, I hope you are doing well and smiley happy
it seems you are really busy right now but I was just wondering...
I'm really interested in learning more about the magic box thing that makes loops and you could spend a life time having musical adventures with it...once i have figured it out. so, really I'm asking if you might have time to teach me? or even just send me in the right direction in how to come about one and get started? infact - knowing the name of this magic loop box of wonder would probably be a good start. i thought perhaps you were the chap to be speaking to. so get in touch when you get the chance.
