Kris Dollimore (born 2 January 1966) is an English rock guitarist, who is best known for being a founding member of the Godfathers as well as a member of the Damned and Del Amitri. He also performs and records as a solo artist.
Kris Dollimore was born on the Isle of Sheppey in northern Kent, where he lived until the age of 19 when he moved to London. His first appearance on a recording was in 1984 as guitarist and lead vocalist on the sole album by the pub rock-ish Major Setback Band, which also included his older brother Ian on bass. The following year, at age 19, he co-formed alternative rock band the Godfathers, with whom he recorded three albums.
After leaving the Godfathers in 1990, Dollimore participated in a demo recording session for Stiv Bators (Dead Boys, the Lords of the New Church). The demo tracks were released in 1996 on Bator's posthumously released Last Race album. Also in 1990, Dollimore formed hard rock band the Brotherland with bassist Nick Chown (the Bolshoi) and drummer Steve "Vom" Ritchie (Doctor and the Medics), with Dollimore handling guitar and vocal duties. They released one album in 1991.
