I Tunes
(Preview)
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...

The Magic Mixture track 'Moonbeam' (plus a new Charlie release - perhaps!!)

As most of you may know, Terry T used to be a band called The Magic Mixture. They made their one and only album in 1968. It seems that Terry was reminded recently of this by bass player (Mel Hacker), Terry agreeing to remake one of the songs on the album (track MOONBEAMS) I received an email this morning fro...

Just an memory from 1979...

Back in 1979 I was 19 year old who didn't know what he wanted to do and went to the beach in San Clemente CA. when he wasn't digging ditches. One summer night at a good friends party in Shorecliffs, a song came on and I was kind of riveted by it. I strained over the party noise to hear the title. I misunderstood...

Terry has confirmed he's booked to play 100 Club (Oxford Street, London) on Wednesday 25th May 2016, although nothing's posted on the 100 Club website as yet. I've no idea what their 'set' is to be, but I can only hope they'll be playing some of the newer tracks (from Elysium) - they've previously pl...

Questions/Answers

I recently had the opportunity to put some questions (of mine) to Terry - see below. As you can see from some of his responses, he possibly feels interest in 'Charlie' is waning. I suppose this is your/our opportunity to prove him wrong !! Should you have any questions you'd like him to answer, then se...

Towards the end of this song the music begins to fade out as the song appears to be all but over. Then suddenly without warning the song jumps back in fairly loud ju...
