Chris Perry first came to Delhi with Lorna to play at the Gaylords Restaurant, one of the best restaurants in the 60's. The first band engaged by Gaylords when it was inaugurated was led by Joe Rodrigues. Lorna became very popular in Delhi and it was difficult to find a table at Gaylords those days.The Goan Sports Club organized the Chris Perry Nite at AIFACS hall with Lorna. The show was a sell out.

[Gulf Goans] Chris Perry - The Music Magician
http://www.goa-world.com/goa/chrisperry/chris.htm CHRIS PERRY- THE MUSIC MAGICIAN By Isidore Dantas Chris Perry-the legend who gave a new dimension to Konkani music left for his heavenly abode on 25th January 2002,.

He found the hidden talent of Lorna and exploited the same to bring out the very best combination for which the Konkani fraternity is indebted to him. Abghat kelo, Red Rose, Tum ani Hanv, Calangute, Nachomia Kumpasar, Bebdo, Ugddas, Sorg tujea dolleanim, Lisboa, Amerikak Pavxi, Noxibak roddttam in the sweet and forceful voice of Lorna are still remembered by the hoi polloi as well as the glitterati. Tony Carrs rendering of Cu Cu Ru Ru, Maddancho Soro, Kalliz Boong Bang zata have also become popular. He introduced Konkani music to top singers like Mohamed Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Usha Uthup. Mohmad Rafis rhapsody Bom Jezuchea re Konventant, Maria has won the hearts of connoisseurs of music. Usha Uthup in her inimitable voice has sung Meu Amor, Tum ani Hanv. The famous tiatrist H. Britton has also sung his compositions, which are Marialina, Kazarachem Utor, Bandra Festak, Bus Conductor, Dukhrachi Chevrisam His music standard is compared to that of famous musicians like Miles Davis, Charles Parker and Chic Correia. He used to write music from his heart,compose and arrange the same in which the Goan fragrance can be felt. He has the distinction of producing Konkanis fist coloured movie Bhuianrantlo Monis in 1978 in which the famous singer Asha Bhonsle has rendered some songs. Unfortunately, the film did not have good run as it was made in Hindi film style and had a low budget. His musical shows Nhovro Mhozo Denvchar, Tum ani Hanv, Lob Padricho have become successful. He has bagged the Best Composer award in 1974. In 1975 he left Mumbai along with his brother to play in posh hotels and display his talent since the audience abroad prefers live music to recorded music. He established a music school to train students in piano, keyboard, drums as well as blowing instruments. He prepared students for Londons Trinity College. Carnival in Goa, From Dubai with Love, Mhoji mai, Poilo Kiss are his famous cassettes. He was a self-taught musician and would not tolerate anyone who sang out of tune. I had the privilege of staging his musical play Nhovro Mhozo Denvchar in Pune which fond memories I still linger. The government should bestow befitting honour to this personality who has brought Konkani music to the international map.
