'I Wish I had a Sylvia Plath'

About Me

Hi I'm Chris and I live in London. I'm a really nice friendly guy (like to think I am!) and a huge music fan. Unfortunately I can't play myself (tried to learn guitar many times) but I like to think I have great taste. Love Indie, rock, alternative, acoustic, singer-songwriter and Americana stuff especially Ryan Adams, Broken Family Band, Grand Drive, Wilco,Whiskeytown, Pernice Brothers, Josh Ritter etc. I try to go to as many gigs as I can and festivals too. My favourite track of all time is 'Love Hurts' by Gram and Emmylou, what a killer if you've ever had your heart broken (like I have :( ). Favourite album is 'Heartbreaker' Ryan Adams, yet another classic for a broken heart. I LOVE singer-songwriter Lisa Redford (seen her play live many times and got hold of a cool live video of her from Youtube)...Create or get your
