Li’l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine

Li’l Chuck will present his full one man band plus a selection of his cranky home made instruments and Diddley bows and offering audiences the amazing opportunity to jam, skiffle and learn about his old time homemade music.

Having spent a lifetime rummaging through the drawers of 1930's - 50's music, Chuck’s 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 all the instruments simultaneously.

Captivating storytelling intertwines effortlessly with heart stopping harmonica. Multiple guitar styles are underpinned by his left and right feet frantically pounding the kick and hi hat. The listener is left simply wondering, "How the hell does he do that"?
Originally hailing from the UK, Li’l Chuck has been stomping his music in NZ since 2003.

In an age where we are rushing around at breakneck speed, where everything is instant, sugar coated, airbrushed and overly polished, Li’l Chuck brings us down to earth with some organic, all natural, whole grain, naked goodness.
