<p>Long-standing UK indie rock band, The Charlatans, was founded in 1988 in the West Midlands by bassist Martin Blunt. With a rich musical history spanning over three decades, they have become a household name in the music industry. Known as The Charlatans UK in North America to avoid copyright issues with another '60s San Francisco psych rock group of the same name, their unique sound and captivating performances have garnered them a dedicated fan base worldwide.</p>

The founder of the Charlatans was George Hunter, who conceived of the band as a visual experience. Rolling Stone magazine described their music as as “a jaunty, ragtime rhythm that was of a piece with their style. Their repertoire remained essentially folk material – blues, ballads, good time jug band tunes plus a few original numbers and the odd Rolling Stones tune.” The Charlatans never enjoyed the popularity or commercial success that their innovative musical and visual approach so richly deserved. Dan Hicks had some success fronting Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks whilst Mike Wilhelm formed his own band Loose Gravel and then became a member of The Flamin’ Groovies.
