Chris Bruce has been playing the guitar since he was eight. But he's better at it now. Brought up in Newcastle and exiled in North London via Stockholm, Chris and his songs have picked up things along the way. A fine musician and classically trained singer, his rhythms and melodies are accompanied by the usual tales of love, loss, friendship and tube travel. Comparisons are a bit lazy, and most of the songs sound different anyway. If you really can't be arsed to find out for yourself here, then he probably owes Ray Davies, Paddy McAloon and The Police a pint.
