Led by founding member and songwriter Chris Pope, The Chords UK was formed in 2013 to continue playing Chords ‘classics’ from their 1980s heyday, including their Top 40 hits ‘Maybe Tomorrow’, ‘The British Way of Life’ and tracks from the Top 30 album ‘So Far Away’.

The band, made up of Chris, Kenny Cooper, Sandy Michie and Mic Stoner, have been quoted in concert as ‘an incendiary rock n roll band’ by Louder Than War.

In the spring of 2025, they are touring the UK and Europe to promote their ‘Best of But Then Again’ album. And they’ll be on the road again in the autumn for the 45th anniversary tour of ‘So Far Away’.
They’ll be playing the whole album, from start to finish, for the very first time!

Their single ‘All for nothing at all’ reached number 1 in the charts.
Chris himself has been described by Paul Weller as ‘the best songwriter of his generation’,
by Uncut as ‘wild as Townshend with a toothache’ and by Vive Le Rock, ‘timeless songwriting and understated genius’.
