I’ve completed a new page on my band, Big Time Charlie Potatoes, a Manchester based retro-rocky three-piece. Actually, we’ve been practically defunct for several years 😀 but we had some great songs so this page is more an archive for those so I don’t forget them. head on over and give us a listen, the quality’s not fabulous, but it’s mostly alright and there’s a ton of full tunes in there…

Comment by Charlie — September 29, 2009 @ 12:14 pm
I have all your albums. wanna buy them back?
I miss you guys, I miss the Castle, I miss my youth, I missed the bus when everyone else got on.
Would love to sit in the studio again with you guys. Would love to drink and smoke myself into a stupor whilst singing along and generally making a cunt of myself.
Stay naughty Nathan, keep smoking Jonny, hit the big time Charlie.
Comment by Dave — April 24, 2010 @ 2:14 am
you and me both Dave. Good to hear from you mate. Hope you’re keeping well (aside from the odd bouts of maudlin reminiscence) 🙂
Comment by Naughty — April 24, 2010 @ 10:25 am
Hi Nathan, Yeah I am keeping well and busy. I mess with computers a lot these days (security research and web design) and because of this my music making has suffered. Too much reminiscing as well I am afraid… I Need to get back into having fun and make some new memories, and not spend so much time in front of a screen. It’s like day to day same old, same old with the occasional bit of excitement. Does getting old really have to be this way? I don’t think so.
Thanks for making the Charlie tunes available. I lost an awful lot of music with moving from city to city over the past 12 or so years. Yup it’s been that long! I live in a nice market town in the middle of UK now, trees in the street and dry stone walls around all the different coloured houses, very pretty.
Pass on greets to Charlie and Jonny please.
Later 🙂

Comment by charlie — May 27, 2010 @ 6:19 pm
Hi Charlie, it will be a pleasure. What kind of monkey is it? I don’t want one that smokes unless he brings his own.
Seriously, we Web Impressions http://www.webimpressions.co.uk have a special offer on until 18 June. I will extend this deadline indefinitely for you. You can find samples of my work here and a contact email address. The telephone number is to my business partners phone so don’t call that.
Drop me an email: dave *at* webimpressions.co.uk
Nice to hear from you Charlie, have a hug.
Sexual favours are always welcome providing I come well 😉
Comment by Dave — June 2, 2010 @ 9:58 am
Yo, Mr spuds, why you not reply to my emails?
Do you hate me?
I hurt
Comment by Dave — September 9, 2010 @ 9:43 pm
hey Dave, Charlie is a total luddite. I doubt he even knows what email is, let alone how to access it to reply to you. He’s been extremely quiet recently so I can only assume that Ruby has banned him from using the laptop or he’s kicked it across the room in a blind rage and knackered it…
Comment by Naughty — September 9, 2010 @ 10:11 pm
Hi Naughty, thanks for that.
We were in communication, several emails passed between us then… silence.
Just hope is is OK.
Comment by Dave — September 29, 2010 @ 5:41 pm
Hi Nathan, how you doing? Almost 12 months since I last spoke. I hope life/fate/karma is being good to you and your loved ones. Ups and downs here but that ‘s life, at least my life anyways. I plan on doing some gigs around my home town as soon as my fingers stop hurtin’. I was wondering if I could cover last temptation, it touches me in so many ways that I might just be able to do it justice. Do you hear from/see much of Charlie and Johnny these days? It would be awesome if you played again, I really miss those night at the Castle. Don’t put down that bass for too long Nathan. Hugs and respect to you.
Comment by Dave — September 2, 2011 @ 9:58 pm
Hey Dave, yeah, long time… Life is fine I guess, ups and downs is damn right… can’t complain though. I honestly don’t see any problem with you covering Last Temptation, but it’s entirely Charlies call, but I’m sure he’d be chuffed that you wanted to play it (let’s face it, what can he do even if he didn’t want you to! 😉 ) I don’t really see or hear from Johnny or Charlie much, not that I think we don’t want to, it’s just a lot of effort when there always seems to be more “important” stuff to get on with 🙁 I really miss those Castle nights too, damn they were some fine tunes we had… I haven’t even got my bass out of the bag for about 5-6 years, but for my 40th Birthday (last March) my dad got me a beautiful Ibanez Acoustic Bass, so I have it right here next to my desk and plink a bit on it from time to time. Hope your gigs go well, take it easy.
Comment by Naughty — September 10, 2011 @ 3:49 pm
Aye Nathan, family and keeping them safe is important, beyond that it can all go and fuck itself 😉 Don’t stop playing that bass, you will regret it when the arthritis kicks in… 40 you old sod ;-p Me 50 in a few months, still 20ish in the head but my body does not agree. I made a tribute to BTCP on my blog http://www.propergander.org.uk/properblog/?p=320
Damn fine tunes is right!
I have a small favour to ask, no biggie and certainly no problem, but it ain’t something public. If you email me then I can mail u and interrupt your lifeflow with my ludicrous demands
Comment by Dave — October 9, 2011 @ 12:39 am
Naughty how the devil r u see that txt talk charlies down wiv it , forgot how to do this, hope its right just sayin high coz i am ,ot been in touch because im a famous actor now as ya know so i dont really speak to the public anymore shakin everyones hand makin the chicks wet, givin geezers semis,i cant keep givin, but as u know charlie cant help that genorous side, but if we do bump in to each other dont be upset if i totally ignore u , coz ill more than likeley be wiv a celeb n shit,so if i just sign me name on ya tit or ya face or summet, also do anal signin but only if its there ready , so places like airports top partys waitin outside, have anus out ready,walkin backwards shoutin charlie charlie sign it please sign it, wen i get round to u , bend over anus high, i might have to dip me pen in the brown ink well, soon as ive signed im gone , so none of that can u sgn this for me mate, p.s dont worry about it rubbin off charlies ink is permanent, so hope to see u soon luv charlie.
