I am the real thing...

About Me

I'm Charlie Salvidge, born in '86, spent most of my formative years studying my Dad's records from the 60s & 70s and playing around with reel to reel tape at the BBC, I play guitar, drums and keys. Done a course in Music Technology - have some knowledge of recording technology and and a Revox A77 reel to reel, also did a guitar course at BIMM in Brighton - which was frankly a waste of time, but at least I'm living in Brighton now which is a bit more of a hip place to be than Gloucester. -Update - have decided the bright lights of London town are beckoning, somebody let me sleep on their floor please? I don't take up too much space and have but a guitar and amp to my name!
At the moment myself, Uygar Sen, Jake Gladman and potentially Evan Reinhold are forming ourselves into a group with which to blow some minds and some balloons.
(us in a previous life)
Me demos have had interest from Blow Up & TV Eye records & had airplay on Clint (Inspiral Carpets) Boon's XFM radio show. and BBC Radio Bristol. & now a review on Piley's blog. So there!
