discreet Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I believe he is the Charlie Watkins of Watkins Electric Music (WEM) fame and designer of the WEM Copycat. But you knew that already. Edited June 8, 2012 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceH Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 We've got an old copycat somewhere, and had some fun dealing with Charlie Watkins in the 90s, he was a great character! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The WEM Copycat: what a beast!! Remember seeing Brian Robertson in Lizzy running two of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Have you ever seen his Accordian Today magazine? It's made up mostly of plugs for WEM accordian products, with the occasional rambling cockney rant in between. He does indeed seem like a bit of a character. I reckon they should give him a Knighthood while he's still around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
