REVIEW
Album "Shamrock Diaries" získává zlaté desky v Británii, Holandsku a v Belgii, platinovou desku v Německu, a představuje pro Chrise počátek tvůrčího a obchodního zenitu. Písnička "Stainsby Girls", kterou napsal pro svou manželku Joan, boduje ve všech rozhlasových hitparádách a ještě populárnější se stává "Josephine", kterou zase věnoval své dceři.
