Biography:
    Chris Hardie grew up in Thornhill, a small village north of Dumfries and from a young age, he had a keen interest in music. First learning the piano, he also took up the clarinet and then saxophone. During his time at Wallace Hall Academy, he joined the Dumfries Youth Jazz Group, where he had the chance to play with some of Scotland's best, as well as internationally known jazz musicians. From there, he joined the National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland and Tommy Smith's Youth Jazz Orchestra. He also had the great fortune to be taught by Paul Towndrow during these years.

    After leaving school, he auditioned for and was given a place on the B.A. Applied Music Course at Strathclyde University, Glasgow, where he was most privileged to be tutored by Konrad Wiszniewski, one of Scotland's top jazz musicians. While there, he joined a variety of bands with whom he regularly plays in and around Glasgow and Edinburgh. In 2010, he graduated from the course with Honours.
