Music News - 'Stick it in your Pipe and Smoke it' - New single from Li'l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine
03 March 2017 - 0 Comments
Christchurch based one
man band David
Thorpe AKA Li'l
Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine, releases his new single Stick It In Your Pipe And Smoke
It today.
Stick It In Your Pipe And Smoke It is a clever, quirky reminiscence
on colloquial phrases bandied around the playground when Chuck was a kid
in 1970's England.
"In essence when a kid used to shout off his mouth about something and we didn't like what they were saying the response would always be 'Stick it in your pipe and smoke it'.
The phrase has as
much significance today as it has ever has... only in this day and age we often
tend to say something a little stronger....
The endearing black & white video for 'Stick It In Your Pipe And Smoke It'
was shot in Chuck's hometown of Christchurch at his favourite pre-quake
busking locations. Here, Chuck warmly invites members of the public
to give his 'skiffle machine' a go.

follow up to the highly acclaimed 2013 release Blues In Full Swing.

music, Chuck’s mostly original songs are inspired by the sounds of the era
- Blues, Early Jazz, Western Swing, Ragtime etc. and are uniquely presented in
the style of street performers from those glory days.
Sticking to the traditional one man band format, Chuck plays and records all
the instruments simultaneously, no overdubs or edits. Just, Chuck, his skiffle
machine and a bunch of mics.
