Chris Axford-Amer
A (twice) graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Chris is a Glasgow-based guitar player that spends part of his time as a freelance musician and part of his time working with UCCF. Originally from Edinburgh, Chris grew up benefitting from good local authority music initiatives and very supportive parents, before moving to Glasgow in 2012 to study jazz. Since then, Chris has been playing, recording and writing music under his own name and with others, as well as bringing to fruition his unique 5-string theorbed tenor guitar.
Whilst a student at the RCS, Chris benefitted enormously from the small Christian Union, where he was helped to think deeply about what music is, why it’s worth doing, and where it fits in the LORD’s world. Writers like Francis Schaeffer have helped persuade Chris of the beauty, dignity and robust reliability of the Christian worldview, and with that conviction Chris continues to work alongside students at the RCS, the Glasgow School of Art, and across the country as part of the UCCF Networks.
