Craig Charles Goes Glasto

Lister actor brings funk to the people.

26 February, 2010

In between the once-a-decade job of playing Dave Lister in Red Dwarf and the four-times-a-week job playing Lloyd in Coronation Street, Craig Charles hosts his Funk and Soul Show on BBC 6Music. And now he's going out on the road.

Craig will be playing Glastonbury (June 23rd-27th) and The Big Chill (August 5th-8th) with The Craig Charles Fantasy Funk Band - a supergroup created from listeners' suggestions of their own daydream line-up. That line-up, and do Google these names, apparently includes James Taylor, John Turrell, Dionne Charles, Eddie Roberts, Snowboy, Mike Bandoni, Ernie McKone and The Haggis Horns.

Play that funky music last-human-being-alive-boy!
