Pet Shop Boys – Chris Lowe from Blackpool

Tony McReynolds — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:49:43 +0000

Brit Awards Winner 2009

Chris lowe was born and raised in Blackpool before going on to conquer the world with Neil Tennant as one of the pop duo “The Pet Shop Boys.” To say the Pet Shop Boys are idols of mine is an understatement indeed, as a teenager I grew up listen to their music and dreaming of following in their foot steps to fame and fortune.

To see them perform at the Brits and receive an award was a fantastic and nerve tingling experience that not many pop groups or bands have on me these days. Performing with Brandon Flowers (The Killers) and Lady GaGa it was quite a performance to remember!

Please view their performance below and if you do not have a CD of them in your car ‘Go get one?’

Chris in his act reminisces about his up bringing in Blackpool which I do feel shows his respect and love of his home town a town that he describes like himself “Fun loving and exciting.”
