Lockdown Sunday - Killer Cuts
(Preview)
As we are all supposed to be on lockdown and close to going stir crazy, I thought a video from a bygone time will cheer up all Charlie fans around the globe. So kick back, out with the air guitar and enjoy this ear candy from the band we love. Hope you are all safe and well. [video=https://youtu.be/Y_UMi3m...

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...

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...

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...

Questions/Answers
