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??

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...
