Vocals and piano- Charlie, lead guitar- Andy Smith (ex-Battersea), guitar- Tom McGuinness, bass- Paul Karas, drums- Roy Morgan.

    • It was all rather good fun wasn’t it, Chris?!
      ” How’s it hanging!” ( the pictures I mean, haha!)
      Love Charlie x

      • Guys, I’m listening to Graffiti as I type this and the shivers are running down my spine….
        Recorded in that tiny but fab-sounding studio on the 4th floor of the publishing company…engineered by a mad French dude in silk pantaloons if I remember correctly- what was his name?
        The tunes still sound great, Charlie 🙂

        • Hey Andy! Great to hear from you! that mad french dude was Rudi?! Timeless moments. May the road rise with you x

  1. Graffiti – still sounds as good as I remembered.
    Charlie, I was in awe of your talent from the first time we met.
    Proud to have been a part of this.
