About Me

Chris Parr has been living in London for the last year and a bit. Before that he lived in Gifu, Japan.He was part of Bolton band Provada, who were bit rubbish but taught him alot about songwriting. He was then in Newcastle band 3 Hours Wasted, who were a little bit better. After leaving the band, he wrote a number of musicals, including The Musical!, which played to many many people in many different cities.He now works for a newspaper and plays songs on his own. He is looking for a new band, since this solo stuff gets repetative after a while.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
