In Your Hands

We say

Charlie Winston's album Hobo was released in France earlier this year, peaking at No 2 and remaining in the top 10 for many weeks, selling more than 250,000 albums. Single Like A Hobo reached No1 in the French singles chart and topped the digital charts for 4 weeks after Real World Records licensed it to the French label Atmosphériques. That single and the album are out in the UK in September, preceded by this warm-up single. It's a great success story for a British artist abroad (not unlike the success that his brother Tom Baxter has enjoyed in Ireland), and we think the music we've heard so far can make an impact over here. Womad and a number of London performances are planned. JF London gig: July 27 Rough Trade East E1/ July 28 iTunes Festival, Roundhouse NW1 (w/ Amadou & Mariam)
