Chris Townsend on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

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 run this Myspace page myself, I don't have any big record label folks or managers or stuff like that so please bear with me about replying to comments and messages!

I have recently released 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 including the song "Copenhagen" itself.

I love acoustic/pop music, 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 on my acoustic guitar and some were written on the piano. I then took them to the studio and worked with a top producer (Greg Haver) and some awesome musicians to add drums, bass and an orchestra (so cool!!) 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 download your favourite song on iTunes!). You can buy copies of my album from the following stores (both CD's and downloads). It costs different prices at the different stores but is cheapest direct from me in my official store!

Or you can get a copy direct from me (I ship worldwide) at 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.

p.s. I do my best to reply to messages and comments on here but sometimes things get on top of me and I can't! I do read everything though so please don't be offended if I can't reply! Send me your message again if you really want an answer to a particular question!!
