Welcome to the Charlie Speed website

I have been making music now for 35 years and I still get a massive kick out of sharing this wonderful international language. It is amazing that you can create a vibe and emotion just by a chord change or a groove, sometimes I find the words can get in the way a little although I realize they are vital.

I have been lucky to play with some great musicians over the years that inspired me to carry on, some folk say why do this after all this time you could put your feet up and enjoy life a bit, I am obsessed with music, sometimes it can lift me out of the low times which we can all fall into from time to time.

Today the way music is recorded & distributed has been turned on its head. The revolution that is the internet is obviously very powerful and available to almost everybody. A kid in his bedroom can create & write without some smuck telling him what to do, or what to wear. If you want to listen to some tracks be my guest. Visit the CDs page. If you like what you hear then feel free to part with some of your hard earned money.

I'll be out gigging in the spring of 2006 with the CHARLIE SPEED BAND. See the Gigs page for up-to-date info. Also, check out the Band page for more info on the CHARLIE SPEED BAND.

I hope you like the site and the music. Call back soon...
