Hi. I’m Sophie, a musician currently based in Manchester, UK. You’ll mostly find me trotting around the country playing music. I’m a multi-instrumentalist in My First Tooth (Vocals, Violin, Guitar, Bouzouki, Percussion), drummer in PINS, and am a backing vocalist in Bright Light Bright Light. I also play violin for Embers and synth/vocals/other bits and bobs for Boxes too. I am available for session work on vocals, guitar, bass, violin and drums. I’m also available for writing, co-writing, toplining, composing and arranging. If you fancy getting me involved in a project please do email me at: sophiegalpin@gmail.com For examples of my previous work, please click the links above my name at the top of this page. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-29656241-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
