MySpace.com - Chris Townsend - London / Bristol, UK - Acoustic / Indie / Pop

Thanks for dropping by! I'm a singer/songwriter from the UK currently based in London but originally from near Bristol. I've only been at this music thing for a short while but I'm hooked already!

I have recently finished recording my debut album entitled "Copenhagen". It's called that because I spent six months living in the wonderful city of Copenhagen in Denmark and wrote a lot of the songs on the album whilst I was there.

I love acoustic music, songwriter stuff with great melodies, catchy choruses and real musicians playing real instruments...know what I mean? My album is a collection of 10 tracks I wrote, some are guitar-based and some were written on the piano. I then took them to the studio and worked with a top producer and some awesome musicians to add drums, bass and an orchestra to turn them into rich full sounding songs.

If you like what you hear, please support indepedent musicians like me and buy a copy of the album (or even just your favourite song!). You can pick up copies of my album from the following stores (both CD's and downloads are available). It costs different prices at the different stores but is cheapest direct from me!

Or you can get a copy direct from me (I ship worldwide) from my official webstore I take all major credit/debit cards. :-)

Please also subscribe to my blog for updates, news and my general ramblings if you like!!

Thanks again for listening in and for all your amazing support. It really means the world to me and keeps me making music....without you guys listening I'd have no-one to share these songs with.

Banners for your pages!! Please add these and help me promote my music and spread the word! Along with adding one of my songs to your profile it really does wonders helping me reach new people and get more lovely fans!!
