About me My story

I'm a writer and musician. I've made six albums of indie pop music, which some people really like. I've toured around a lot and currently write a weekly column on the arts for the Morning Star newspaper.

I applied for the plinth because technically it means I'm a Gormley, so afterwards I can eBay myself.

I'll sing songs for my hour. Trying to find a way to make it loud enough for people to hear down on the ground.

  • I had no idea you'd done this! Awesome :)

  • Saw you on the night wandering through town. Top guitar! I surprised you didn’t break all of your strings.

    Rock on !!!!

  • Hey Chris, Was there on the night. You were so good I had to come back and watch it again online. Rock on mate.

  • Just managed to see this today, squeezed into the last of my broadband for July. Brilliant - thank you. Special songs. Love the cuntryside hunter song and the 320 giraffes, heads held high.

    Two fave plinthers today, both at 10 o'clock. Thank you.

  • Well done Mr T-T!!

  • Great set! Good crowd too.

    Pity about the streaming. Good camerawork but skyARTS really need to sort out how to buffer signals. I kept getting pauses in the picture... Hope to see this on a proper video stream someday.

    Cheers Nick

  • Nice one Chris.. Good show! Damn those strings... i always do a couple when i play behind an amp! Some cracking versions of your songs in amongst this lot though..... especially liked 'A box to hide in'... and 'Tomorrow morning' ...

    This is exactly what it should be all about!

  • Chris, that was fucking awesome, thank you.

  • really glad to see you up there! Saw you support Frank Turner and have met you in Birmingham and Winchester (where so many people send their love from). International broardcast; far out!!!!

  • Hey! Well done. I may be a fat American sitting here in Los Angeles but I truly enjoyed you. Thanks for sharing with us. All the best

  • Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. We don't have a voice like yours here in the US. We are all screwed.

  • This is a great set, Chris. I've told my facebook friends in the UK and the States to watch. Hoping that they pay attention.

  • my favourite plinther so far!! i have been waiting for someone to play some music up there. good work

  • The guy is a genius,gorgeous & amazing and most of all he sings from deep in his heart. Everyone should hear him & listen up, that is why he is a brilliant choice for the plinth. Rock and Roll Chris, Rock and Roll!!!!!!!

  • I just want you to know: we're all depending on you.

    xx

  • Play "a plague on both your houses" and I will love you forever. Lots of love Wudeee (loyal Twitter follower)xx
