Born of the 60s folk boom, influenced by the likes of Al Stewart, Ralph McTell and Paul Simon, Jules Charlie emerged in the folk clubs around his home town in the south of England in the early 1970s. Seduced by the prospect of fame and fortune he demo bombed the record companies with tapes of his songs until one day, much to his surprise, one of them signed him up for a life changing advance.

​

The bubble burst almost immediately when it turned out his good fortune was in reality an act of petty revenge by the disgruntled, soon-to-be ex label boss whose real motive was to stitch up his former colleagues with an artist so lame he'd once sent a demo tape and forgotten to put any songs on it. Red faces all round but, to avoid any costly legal repercussions, the new label boss decided to kill off Jules' career once and for all by entering him for the Eurovision Song Contest. It worked. Embarrassed, disgraced, Jules Charlie put away his guitar and stopped playing music altogether for 30 years. 

 

But now he's back, unencumbered by delusions of fame and fortune and finally free of that toxic contract, he's gone back to his roots and playing his songs for the joy of it. All real, all human, all original music that will make you smile.
