Calum was the most recent current bun in the Charlies drum stool. He joined the band about 300 years ago and over that time he entertained us mightily with his fabulous joke-telling skills. That guy is funny, let me tell you folks, who could ever forget his pink pigeon or pygmy fluteband masterpieces.

Stevie knew someone in his work who knew Calum. He asked him to come along one night and gie it a go after Country Boyhad rode off into the sunset. Calum came into the rehearsal room cracked a few jokes and battered his skins like nobody's business, right away we knew we had found a friend.

Things were a lot looser and easy-going in Charliesland during this manifestation, I'm not sure how Calum would have got on in our earlier fundamentalist periods when we were on drummers' backs about every beat. Back to Charlies Members
