THE CHARLATANS
Bio
Since breaking through in 1990 The Charlatans have become one of the UK’s most beloved and enduring bands, their indie roots the focal point of a sound that has taken in everything from psychedelia to soul and funk via country rock.
In a history now stretching beyond 30 years, The Charlatans have crafted a back catalogue of enviable depth and variety, taking in three UK #1 albums (‘Some Friendly’, ‘The Charlatans’, ‘Tellin’ Stories’) and another seven Top 10 records. They’re an albums band with numerous iconic hits, with the classic Top 10 singles ‘The Only One I Know’, ‘One To Another’, ‘North Country Boy’ and ‘How High’ plus another eighteen Top 40 hits to their name. Many of those moments are captured in their ‘Melting Pot’ hits collection, one of two of their albums to have been certified Platinum.
So many instantly recognisable songs really benefits their live experience, whether they’re headlining the O2 Academy Brixton and The Royal Albert Hall, or hitting festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading and the Isle of Wight, or striding into stadiums as guests to the likes of Liam Gallagher and Gerry Cinnamon.
