To celebrate 10 years since the release of Li'l Chuck's first album and Drummie Dan's significant birthday, next week sees a surprise new release from Li'l Chuck the One Man Skiffle Machine.
After a clash with his other band members, Li'l Chuck has stepped away from his traditional one man band format to join forces with legendary Shane MacGowan and Exploited drummer Dan Heatley aka “Drummie Dan”.
Their six track EP Li'l Chuck Meets Drummie Dan At The Mansion On The Hill features the nostalgic and heavier side of Li'l Chuck drawing on his and Dan’s teenage rock n roll influences from the 70’s & 80’s. Driven by Dan's pounding drums and saturated with Li'l chucks signature harmonica and slide guitar the result is a much bigger sound than we have come to expect from Li'l Chuck in his previous recordings...
The EP was recorded in one room over a few afternoons with Li'l Chuck and Dan jamming and feeding off each other. It's augmented with overdubs and is arranged and produced by Lil’ Chuck and Drummie Dan.
As Li'l Chuck says, “This project has made the most of our friendship and has given Dan and I the opportunity to drink a lot of tea, have some long laughs and yarns but most importantly, to have a loud blasting sessions in my studio!”
