Latest release "Elysium" is a 2 CD Release?
(Preview)
So like most of you, I ordered a copy of Elysium as soon as it came out. A whole new CD's worth of new CHarlie songs, what's not to like? So imagine my surprise when I found out that there was a release containing 2 CDs of new songs for Elysium. Was I the only one who didn't know this? How many other fans did not k...

Hi all, 'For fun' Terry and Martin Smith recently revisited DON'T LOOK BACK (Martin played lap steel guitar on it). Terry commented that I could post this on the forum, for your enjoyment.

Thanks to the internet, I somehow decided to see what the band was up to. I bought both Kitchens and Elysium on CD after reading the TT was still doing at it. Glad I did, fantastic music! I'm 58 and first heard of Charlie with No Second Chance LP in the 70's. Actually have a CD of No Second Chance/Lines in the...

I Tunes

A few years ago I posted that Charlie should be on I Tunes and I decided to see if they were on there yet and was surprised to see 8 albums that are now available. So go download and listen and enjoy one of the best rock vocal groups of all time. I thought this site was gone, glad it's still here.

Is this really the end??
(Preview)
I (and I'm guessing lots/all of you) hope not. Listening to Julian's recent radio interview (which was posted on the forum page by Sal Espana - the programme presenter/interviewer), Julian made a couple of comments that made me think there was a chance that we 'might' hear of Charlie in the future...
