About Me


Greenspace were a band from Newcastle Upon Tyne. They started their musical hedonism in 2003, this continued right up until 2007 when the band decided to call it a day, the reasons for the split are not important.
Greenspace released one mini-album entitled 'greenspace' and a single 'Nothing Lost'. Both of these were recorded at Gravity Shack studios in London by the rather fantastic Pat Collier. Thanks to everyone involved in the making of those records, we are VERY proud of everything we released, every single song captures the raw emotion the bands engine used to churn on. These can still be purchased through Pure Groove Records and other indie music stores.
During their time they also embarked on a national tour of the country, a tour filled with exploding cars, carbon monoxide poisoning, sleep deprivation, booze, amazing people and of course the music.
Greenspace loved being in a band, and they loved their music, they played A LOT of gigs, all four members played their music as life on earth depended on it, we meant every word, every note.
Please feel free to download the six songs on this page, stick them on your iPod, tell your friends, that would make us very happy
Thank you to everyone who supported Greenspace in the 4 amazing years we were together. We love you all
THANK YOU
A very special thank you to Mick Shiner.
