Chris Sopworth of Local Bolton Band, Tresspass

Chris Sopworth passed away on the 3rd of Feb at Christie's Hospital.

I worked with Chris in a three piece band, The Zimmermen, he was a great bassist and person.

A big burly guy with a gentle giant nature, and such a positive outlook.

I recommended Chris to the guys from Tresspass some years ago, and he played with them up till recently.

I am sure everyone who knew Chris will miss him, I know I will.

An absolute great guy, God Bless you Chris.
