About Me

I'm Chris, 22, postgraduate music student at Liverpool University. Live in Sheffield when I'm not at uni. Work part time at Gap and as an extra. I like playing gigs and sometimes organising them. Got my own solo stuff and also play in Tom Cartledge's band. My favourite local acts are in my top friends. If you like me check them out. I like being left comments. Yes.
