WHAT a voice. It has the resonance of a sixty a day smoker but there is a velvet quality to Charlie’s voice as well. YourThurrock spotted Charlie singing at the Stanford Festival. Since then he as been building up his repertoire as well as his live presentation. Last night, Charlie put in a storming set at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet.

YourThurrock caught up with Charlie in a session at Castaways in Pitsea where he recorded two numbers plus spoke to us about his singing.
