Really pleased to see this Forum has started up at last. Let's hope it becomes increasingly popular.
Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of Charlie and have been since it's beginning.
I was well chuffed that Terry decided to release the new album last year . . . and I thought it was superb. I'm pleased it was released under the banner of Charlie rather than Terry alone.
Terry is an unsung hero, lyricist and guitarist extraordinaire . . . the sound though, is that of 'Charlie', so there's my reasons for that one.
I've done my best to spread the word to all of my Wishbone Ash forum friends and have had a few replies of how impressed they are with KoD (but hoe they also fondly remember Fantasy Girls, No Second Chance etc etc).
I guess it's none of my business, but I'd love to know whether KoD got (or is still getting) some decent sales. I feel Charlie (& Terry, Julian etc) have always been very under-rated and would love to think there's going to be a second generation of fans. Is there any professional promotion/marketing/air play happening?
Anyway, again, thanks for this Forum and hope to start connecting with many more fans.
Cheers
Roger

Well let's just say this is work in progress! Much appreciate your thoughts and support. These are strange times for the 'sales' of any recorded music, though. Yes, we are doing some promo work - radio shows and magazine interviews - but it's a noisy old world out there and a lot of people are scrambling for pieces of a pie that's getting smaller and smaller with each passing torrent.
Fortunately, the payoff in music is more about being able to produce it rather than banking a royalty check.
Keep tuning in! Thanks.
