Joe Brown : Charley Girl was written for me, and it was actually the plot of Cinderella. Even the names were similar. Lady Hadwell was like Baron Hardup. I was Joe Studwell, which was Studs, which was Buttons, and Charley Girl of course was Cinderella, but not one person in the press picked up on that.
So I was in that for two and a half years, never played my guitar or anything. And that was when I lost touch with the pop industry. And while I was in Charley Girl the night club scene started happening, Batley Variety Club, Wakefield Theatre Club, all of those places, big new nightclubs, and that's what I moved into when Charley Girl ended. I became an all-round entertainer, played the trumpet, had a ten piece band, and it took me years to get out of that and get back to my roots.
