Chris Hornsby

The Nuts and Bolts Version:

I write songs, and then sing them- a lot.

Things people have said about my songs include

soulful acoustic excellence waiting to be discovered

&

visionary lyrics

I am from Northumberland

I live in London

I am often in between.

What I believe:

Music, for me, comes from somewhere very basic. Someone playing Piano by an open window, someone kicking the crap out of a drum kit and annoying their neighbours. Or four teenagers trying to cover Led Zeppelin round a kitchen table while one of their mothers makes pasta.

Ive played Mercenary Music in hotels and Ive sat around a campfire with a bottle of Bruichladdich and an out-of-tune Ukelele. I believe it doesnt matter where youve been or where youre going. Whether you are vacuum formed by a music machine or you make instruments out of hammered together bits of wood in a shed at the bottom of your garden. If you can get yourself out of the way, and let the melody and chords start to resolve themselves out of thin air youre doing ok.
