I have also been the principal copywriter for a rock band website (The Lightyears) since 2002.

    I am dedicated, hard-working, passionate and meticulous, with a very flexible schedule.

    My background in music comes from ten years as a professional musician, touring all over the world, performing at venues such as Wembley Stadium and Glastonbury Festival, and documenting it all along the way!

      Once again Christopher's excellent creative writing matched with his thorough research, means the brief was meticulously followed, the work was delivered on time, and I have found a writer I totally recommend and trust.

      Christopher was absolutely brilliant, Five Star in every respect. He interpreted the brief first time without any follow up from me, he delivered the work early, and what he delivered was extremely good and impressively imaginative. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!
