About Me

I'm a guitarist, Songwriter and I compose music for films. I play in bands and as a session guitarist for uk bands and artists... currently playing with Ashtech (Check my top friends) and my band Suckerpunch. I like listening to music, reading, drinking with mates, enjoying the sunshine and watching good films. I live in London where I teach and play guitar (band and session playing) and compose original music for films and media.
Check out my music myspace and add me: www.myspace.com/christianlloydmusic there's downloads of my composition work.
My sense of humour is quite dark, typically I will laugh more at a show created by Chris Morris than anything else. I like going to orchestral concerts, gigs, pubs and clubs where there is good quality rock music.
If there are any film makers looking for a composer, or bands who are looking for a guitarist or need string or orchestral arrangements. Check out my other myspace and get in touch!!!
Don't talk to me or add me if you are trying to convert me to god... this has happened several times on here and I'm not interested.
