I am very happy to hear the interview with Jeff Christie and his music. In my country (Argentina) we have not forgotten him. Very good interview and if anyone can tell Jeff that his song “If Only” is one of the best I’ve heard in my life I would be very grateful.
With love from Argentina a big hug to all. Alicia.
Jeff Christie is one of the finest composers and songwriters in Europe .It is always a pleasure to see him and his fantastic band live on stage .Hope there will be several gigs in 2015 (hopefully in Germany,too)The new For all Mankind version is great
Hi Jeff, I saw the interview you did in “The Strange Brew” and I listen the song For All Mankind. I personally believe that is an excellent music and voice arrangement. I also listen the interview at the minute 50:05 and i find beautiful the way you mention the word Mexico. Congratulations, i wish success to the best songwriter in UK
Excelent job!!!
