Winston Echo

Winston Echo

Winston Echo is Chris, one half of Undereducated, the influencial and generally brilliant DIY pioneers from Northampton. Everett True (Plan B editor) said of Chris's music: "Winston Echo looks like a very nervous Frank Black, alone up there on stage, frantically strumming away at his acoustic and exhorting us all to shut the fuck up: his nervousness communicates itself as charm. He stops a number, forgets words, starts another, takes requests, sings pitiful and lonely songs about dole life, falls in love with someone on the Bureau de Change desk, hopes they notice him, strums some more, words nearly lost in his earnestness. I’d say he was a nascent English version of Daniel Johnston".
