“Charlie is a wickedly talented drummer, with a great attitude and an excellent sound. He is the ultimate professional and you know that you’re going to get quality when working with him. As well as his vast fundamental knowledge of music, he is so easy to lock in with and has a style of playing that can equally boost a song, as well as hold it down, so as to let other players flourish. He is a sheer pleasure to work and play with and I thoroughly look forward to working with him again.”

— Ashley Walker, Bass player & Band Leader

“Charlie is an exceptional player. We have worked in various projects together including live and studio work, and he is always well equipped, well prepared, and consistent. His ability to sightread means he works competently, and his experience in the industry serves him well when working with various MD’s across all genres. Professional, skilled, and always up for a good natter - Charlie is your guy.”

— Ruby Robinson, Vocalist/Musical Director

“Charlie has been in our band since 2018, playing with us mostly on theatre gigs. He’s an exceptional musician, and his attitude demonstrates professionalism and composure way beyond his years. As well as his obvious talent and skill as a drummer and percussionist he has always shown a strong grasp of the organisational and logistical aspects of the job, and seems untroubled by the mileage and graft involved in serious road work.”

— Richard Rutherford, Bass player & Tour Manager (Islands in the Stream/The Dolly Parton Story)

“I have worked with Charlie on numerous occasions, he is a young gifted musician with whom I am hoping to work with again very soon.”

— Peter White, Kenny Rogers Tribute Artist (Islands in the Stream/The Gambler)

“Not only is he the consummate professional, friendly and dedicated, but Charlie’s wise beyond his years with a heritage to be proud of; which clearly confounds his musicality and technical ability. Simply put: as great a person as he is a musician.”

— Steve Allen, Guitarist & Band leader (The Steve Allen Trio, The Dee Dowling Band)

“I have done several shows with Charlie, including 'In The Heights', well known for its difficulty, and he has been a powerhouse of accuracy and flair every single time”

— Jeremy Harbottle, Musical Director
