  • Chris Stewart was the original drummer and a founding member of Genesis. He is now a farmer and an author. A classmate of Tony Banks and Peter Gabriel at Charterhouse School, Stewart joined them in a school band called The Garden Wall, and they later formed another band with schoolmates Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips, called The Anon. This band eventually became Genesis in January 1967. Stewart appears on the band's first two singles, "The Silent Sun"/"That's Me" and "A Winter's Tale"/"One-Eyed Hound." (These tracks appear as bonus tracks on many reissues of Genesis' first album From Genesis to Revelation. Also, a stereo mix of "The Silent Sun" was included on the album.) Although several demos from Stewart's time with Genesis appear on the Genesis Archive 1967-75 box set, he is not credited with playing on any of them. Chris was not really serious about becoming a musician and left the band in the summer of 1968. He was replaced by John Silver. After travelling and working throughout Europe, Stewart settled in the Alpujarras region of Andalusia, Spain. He came in last place for the position of local councillor in the 27 May 2007 local elections in Órgiva representing the Green Party, where he received 201 votes . He is now better known for his autobiographical books, Driving Over Lemons and the sequels, A Parrot In The Pepper Tree and The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society, about his work farming in Spain. The first two are also available as audio books, narrated by Stewart. "An idyllic life in a remote, sunny part of Europe is a fantasy normally punctured by harsh realities, and abandoned. Chris is made of sterner stuff. Driving Over Lemons is a wonderful account of his Andalucian adventure" - back-cover text for Driving Over Lemons, written by Peter Gabriel. He has also contributed to two books in the Rough Guides series - the Rough Guide to Andalucia and the Rough Guide to China. (en)
  • Chris Stewart, ancien pensionnaire de la vénérable institution qu'est Charterhouse, fut le batteur du groupe formé par Peter Gabriel et Tony Banks nommé The Garden Wall, lorsqu'ils avaient quinze ans. Concurrent de The Anon, groupe formé par Anthony Phillips à la guitare solo et Mike Rutherford à la guitare rythmique, "Garden Wall" finit par s'allier à "The Anon" pour donner génèse à… Genesis. Christ Stewart tint le rôle de batteur et enregistra la toute première mouture du groupe : "From Genesis To Revelation". Le flop total provoquera le départ de Chris Stewart qui quitta définitivement le monde de la musique pour devenir exploitant agricole. Stewart, Chris (fr)
  • Chris Stewart fue batería del grupo musical inglés Genesis. Había sido invitado al puesto de batería por Peter Gabriel que iba a la misma escuela que Stewart en 1967. Por aquel entonces Genesis estaba guiada por Jonathan King, un joven algo mayor que ellos mismos que había grabado un éxito llamado "Everyone's gone to the moon". King hacía las veces de mentor, manager y productor. Incluso fue el que les puso el nombre definitivo a la banda. El grupo compuso unas cuantas canciones que no fueron del agrado de King hasta que Peter y Tony con un estilo más parecido al de los Bee Gees escribieron Silent Sun, que animó a King a meterlos en un estudio de grabación para registrar el primer single de Genesis en febrero de 1968. La formación que lograría grabar el primer single estaría compuesta por Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips, Mike Rutherford y el propio Stewart. (es)
