Christopher Anton Rea (born 4th March 1951) is a singer-songwriter, from Middlesbrough, England. Chris has sold 30 million albums worldwide. Chris' lyrics contain references to growing up in Middlesbrough, a town which, at the time, had much heavy industry around it, including chemical processing, steelmaking, and shipbuilding. Perhaps the most famous of these references occur in the song "Stainsby Girls", a tribute to his wife Joan, who attended Stainsby Secondary Modern School, now known as Acklam Grange Secondary School.

Other references easily recognized by Middlesbrough natives occur in "The Road to Hell". I'm standing by a river, but the water doesn't flow It boils with every poison you can think of. This lyric refers to the appearance of the River Tees in the 1960s, when it was at its most polluted. The song "Steel River" compares the old polluted Tees with the later clean river, there being salmon, but no industry. "Windy Town" is a memory of Middlesbrough from the viewpoint of a touring musician. References in this and other songs to "amber light", "yellow light", relate to the widespread use of cheap "sodium light" streetlamps which cast a baleful yellow glow in which all colors are either yellow or black.
