April 2026:
In order to get the best sound possible and to have a like-minded guy at his side, the best man for the job would be one of Charlie's all time songwriting rock-heroes: Henk Koorn. Henk is a beloved living legend in the Dutch alternative music scene and frontman of Hallo Venray.
In his spare time he's also the lead-guitarist in Joy Division Undercover keeping Joy Division's legacy alive... !
After a decent listeningsession on Charlie's demos Henk was excited enough to start as his sound engineer for Charlie's first EP.
Underneath are some links to the coolest sounding songs of Henk Koorn on which Charlie decided to reach out after him. After your listening no explanation is needed why Henk became Charlie's Rock Dude Sound Engineer.
