singer-songwriter @ temperance | Charlie Ward & band

We are delighted to welcome Charlie Ward & his band back following the sell out show in Aug '26. Charlie Ward is a singer-songwriter whose compositions resonate with authenticity and familiarity, drawing inspiration from his own emotional journeys and everyday moments. Enveloped in melody and rhythm, his lyrics are delivered with warmth and richness by a voice that yields power and grace. His debut EP Learning to Stay, recorded and produced by John Rivers at Woodbine Studios, was released earlier this year and is gaining critical acclaim. Charlie has a busy gig schedule for 2026 including Car Fest, and performed on the Main Stage at Godiva Festival 2025 alongside Ocean Colour Scene and the dance group Diversity; played at the music-rich HMV EMPIRE in Coventry; The Half Moon in Putney; appeared as a featured artist for Sofar Sounds; was chosen as BBC Introducing’s Track of the Week with ‘Japonica’ and also featured on the show with 'Favourite View' and ‘Chasing Rainbows’. Charlie will be performing with his wonderfully talented full band, featuring Rich Costello (guitar), Adam Wright (bass) and Neil Boad (drums).
