This is my debut single Apology, contextually its about the struggles you find yourself in, with past transgressions and others putting you down and trying to find the strength to come out swinging.

Apology

This is the B-side to Apology, where apology was about others putting you down and rising above it, this is more about your own personal demons, anxiety, depression, putting yourself down and rising above those feelings as best as you can, an internal struggle that think most people go through.

Optimistic Pessimist

An Original song of mine, recorded at Attic Recording by the awesome Josh Bell

Energetic passionate, influenced by a wide range of music with folk at the core.
Chris Willis aka The Gentleman Busker started playing music from an early age starting on the drums which he was taught to play by his father, he then started getting guitar lessons at age 16 but after a year and a half of lessons stopped and has been self-taught from then onwards. 
He started off performing cover songs in Newcastle’s Open Mic scene and busking in central arcade & Northumberland Street, before building the courage to start writing his own material and start performing at gigs around the Northeast.
Mainly writing songs based on his own experiences The Gentleman Busker constantly strives to push forward and grow as an artist and performer. 

"His bellowing lungs will leave you stunned and amazed! With honest, heartfelt originals and entertaining covers with a twist we are proud to host this finely refined vagabond up on our stage. " - Bound For Glory Event Manager George Sharpe
