A lovely evening of free music in the courtyard behind this charming Cotswold pub. All ages show. No tickets. Band on stage roughly 7pm 'til 9pm, with break between sets. It'd be lovely to end the Summer with you all!
How great, you've found me :) Welcome
Hello!
My name is Christina Kulukundis and I am a songwriter and singer living at the foot of Bredon Hill in Worcestershire, England. For the past 9 years, my friends Ben Church (guitar, banjo, dobro & harmonica) and Pete Bryden (bass guitar, piano, Hammond organ) and I have been writing and playing music together. I've been writing songs and singing for twenty years and released my first eponymous debut record in 2006. Our 2016 follow-up was full of stories of the highs and lows of life. Both records are on Spotify and iTunes, so please have a listen if you have a moment.
We love playing special gigs in unusual venues so if you think you knwo the perfect place, please let me know! We have welcomed some amazing talent to the band; Pete Miln on violin, Rob Peate playing piano and Max Roache is joining us on drums. All in all it's sounding lovely.
I hope you enjoy looking around the site. There is always some music on the player at the bottom of the page to keep you company. Have a lovely day.

What people are saying about Christina...
**** Mojo Magazine
“Absolutely beautiful. A lovely, lovely song. Sublime.”
BBC Radio 2 Good Morning Sunday on the track Too Long in the Country.
"She focuses on tales rich in home life and one’s emotions (and) brings a grace and beauty rarely heard."
Flying Shoes Review
**** "A wonderful collection of thoughtful songs." Country Music People
"Christina's lyrics perform the difficult trick of evoking a mood beautifully, whilst still leaving room for the listener to connect with their own memories and experiences."
Adam Buxton, British Comedian and Actor
"Her Anglo-American upbringing has given her a unique style; a blend of old fashioned rural vigour and urban wisdom."
What's On Where London
**** "By God, she can sing." Irish World

Sheet music for our songs
After a lot of careful work on the part of me, my friends Mary & Max, and the wonderful Georgia at Pitch Perfect Music, I am delighted to announce to the tiny sliver of society who would be interested, that my record Stars Behind Stars Behind Stars is now available as a book of sheet music. The songs have been arranged for Piano, Vocal & Guitar (picture chords). There are also lots of the Backing Vocal lines in there. What a great thought that there might be people out there singing and playing our songs for themselves. Have fun!
