Note from the editor who started this Wikipedia page[edit]

I'm not connected with Charles' agent in any way. I am just a fan; I do run his fan club, which can be found here, but I have deliberately not included a link to it on the page to avoid any compromise of interest. I created this page because I feel that Charles has done at least as much to merit inclusion as other artists in the same genre who are included here, such as Michael Chance, whom I also much admire.

From the article, he certainly has but Wikipedia policy requires independent verifiable sources. I tagged the page because it derives from conflict of interest sources. Much better to base it on independent material that has appeared in the national/specialist music press. --ROGER DAVIES ^TALK 09:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah... I see the problem.

I will see what I can find. The difficulty is that Charles doesn't generally get asked to do interviews and so on, because although he does have a remarkable voice, I don't think he is considered very impressive as a person on the music scene. He doesn't have what might be called a commercial image. It's one of the things I really like about him, but sadly it doesn't get him interviews. Personally I think his agent ought to try the "green celebrity" angle and publish a few shots of him on his beloved bike, but I suspect they don't feel that goes with baroque...

I promise to work on it, though. Can the article stand in the meantime?

It's only tagged for clean up etc, not deletion though I'd be quick about adding citations to independent sources if I were you. --ROGER DAVIES ^TALK 10:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. :-) I was having a lot of trouble finding reviews that weren't buried among reams of other text!

Declaration of interest, just in case[edit]

I am the person who originally started this page, under a new account because I've forgotten the details of the old one. Because I'm currently organising a concert in which Charles is singing, I've been advised to declare an interest.

This is not, however, a commercial business interest. The situation is that Charles has been a friend of mine for about the last twenty years, and I used to travel to attend a lot of his concerts until I ended up seriously mobility-impaired following a near-fatal illness in 2016. Not only am I now unable to travel, but also I live in a New Town where, up to now, there have never been any concerts. So I decided to organise one, as a private citizen, and at my own risk. This is the first time I've ever worked professionally with Charles, and it will probably be the only time, as unfortunately I'm finding the concert organisation extremely stressful due to a number of factors (no reflection on Charles himself; it's everyone else).

Also, I used to run a website on his behalf, but that expired during my (very long) convalescence; it is possible that I may end up doing that again, but he doesn't seem to be leaping at the idea at the moment. This may be simply because he has a lot else on his plate, but once things settle down I'll put it to him again. If he's interested I'll go ahead, and if he isn't, fine; but if it does go ahead I won't be letting him pay me for it. I didn't ask him to pay anything for the original one.
