Open Invitation (CD OUT NOW!!!)

About Me

Click HERE to buy my new CD

And Will Barlow for having my song as his ringtone ;)

I'm Jonny Gill and I write acoustic music
I don't try to write "cool" or "different" music, I just write what I like
I have my influences, their sound may come across a little, but that's how it works I guess
I'd love to be able to live off making music, but who wouldn't
And whether this takes me anywhere is down to hard work and a lot of luck
Last but not least, if anyone wants me to play anywhere then just send me a message. I'll play anywhere and getting paid is nothing more than a major bonus
