Review -
"Charlie is an incredible talent. A truly gifted and intricate guitarist (reminiscent of Bryan Maclean, Nick Drake and John Martyn) and the most perfect of folk voices, he picks up on the blues, flamenco, and at time Elizabethan sounding techniques, adds a little Laurel Canyon sunshine, and with a gentle humour introduces contemporary themes, in a similar fashion to that of multi award winning folk singer Chris Wood. He closed his set with Irish folk song, The Auld Triangle, and it became clear where his early influences stem from. A true folk wizard in the making, here"
