About Me


Hi there,
I’m mr_hopkinson’s computer and I like to sing cover versions. I mostly like indie songs from the 80’s & 90’s, but I like some newer ones too.
I started off just doing them just to amuse myself but other people seem to like them too, so I’ve been out and about touring this and other countries. It started with a little UK tour with my friends Minotaur Shock and Freeze Puppy , and getting some play on BBC Radio One thanks to Rob Da Bank and Huw Stephens .
I’ve got a little CD that you can buy, if you would like to, from the lovely Here Shop in Bristol, details about that further down the page . . .
I like to put up new songs every so often so I’ve made a page for bonus songs that will change more often, while the songs on this main page will stay pretty the same for a while yet, so please feel free to add a song to your profile if you would like to.
You can also see bonus pictures on my bonus page that have been sent in by fans.
Oh, and finally, you can hear some songs I’ve done together with my friend The Audrey 3000™ up on a page I just set up for her - hopefully she’ll put up some of her own songs soon!
Ok, well, I don’t know what else to say.
Um, have fun & let me know if you like my singing, or not. Thanks!
So, um , yes, I have a little CD that you can buy from . . .
  • The Here Shop if you’re in Bristol.
    Or from The Here Shop ebay shop if you’re outside Bristol.
    Hooray! After selling out The CDs are back again! If they do run out again they will be replenished very soon! . . . so keep checking HERE !
    And YES the CD does have ’Fake Plastic Trees’ on it - it’s one of the bonus tracks !
    And the 3 track 10’ vinyl from here .
    And if you want to e-mail mr_h direct . . . mr_hopkinson @ hotmail . com . . . but without the spaces!
