If I didn’t know any better, I’d say…<song jingle about it beginning to look like Christmas> …and I’m all here for it. Gotta make time for myself though…” Is it just me who still can’t shake the image of Craig ‘making time for himself’ by imagining the next bit should involve us hearing the revving of a chaffeur-driven car driving off, the sound of a magazine crinkling as it is opened and thumbed through to a particular favourite page, the multiple-clicks of a lighter igniting, and then the long, raspy inhale from a pipe? If I had any talent, I’d make that clip.

I’ve just always been taken by the fact that, no matter how shit-faced he is, he remains an absolute professional: (400) Craig Charles absolutely smashed off his face while DJing. – YouTube Craig Charles – Live on Earth (a historical curiosity from 1995) (cookdandbombd.co.uk) “Me and a couple of mates DJd at a festival in 2018 and were on before CC. I’m a huge fan of his radio show so considered it quite an honour but the rumours were that he wasn’t going to show. Anyway, there I was at the back of the stage while my mate finished off our set when the organiser legged it up to me saying ‘he’s here! Quick, set this mic stand up, about this (5 foot) high’. I did this, then turned around to see CC. He was fucked. He had eyes like pin-pricks and was having some difficulty in staying upright as he staggered onstage. He fell backwards into the banner, which fortunately for him was hung on a solid wall. Later on, he dropped all his CDs on the dancefloor which I picked up for him. He managed to get through his two hours but was really struggling at points. Good tunes, but by the numbers. To be fair, I found out that was his third gig of the night plus his radio show. I’m told that later on he put away a bottle of Grey Goose in under an hour.”Q: Ha. How much dj-ing was he doing? He looks like he’s doing a lot but I’m sure at one gig a lot of it was premixed with phasers and stuff all over it, every so often he’d clang into another big re-edit. Not arsed like, it’s still bloody good fun.I’ve heard the pre-mix rumours so I was watching him like a hawk. If it was pre-mixed he was disguising it well as he was shuffling through his CD book and using both CDJs. Wasn’t really mixing as such as most of his tunes are with live drummers so hard to beatmatch for long, though he did clang through a couple of beatmatches and even did some half-arsed scratching.

Just do that. Dark mode strikes again.

December 8, 2023 at 12:03 am #291183 Stabbim the SkutterParticipant Huh, for some reason I thought he’d managed to stay clean for good after rehab. Then again, if you were DJing for a living you’d be surrounded by temptation…hope he’s doing okay health-wise. December 8, 2023 at 9:42 pm #291205 RudolphParticipant I’ve always assumed he’s stuck away from hard drugs since. He did mention in an article earlier in the year that he’s had to tone down the partying after his heart attack in 2018. That he only vapes and drinks now. December 8, 2023 at 9:45 pm #291206 WarbodogParticipant I inject about once a month on a purely recreational basis: fine. December 9, 2023 at 12:19 am #291210 MoonlightParticipant I wish I had drugs. That would solve all my problems. Author Replies Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) Scroll to top • Scroll to Recent Forum Posts You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
