CHARLIE SIMPSON (S90-99) He Was Born on 7 June 1985 In CHARLIE SIMPSON (S90-99) He was born on 7 June 1985 in Woodbridge, Suffolk and was the youngest member of the highly successful pop group Busted. He is now the vocalist and guitarist in Fightstar. He has two older brothers - Will is the vocalist and guitarist in the band Brigade and Edd plays in the band Prego. He was selected as the third member of Busted, beating Tom Fletcher (now lead singer and guitarist in McFly), after responding to an advert placed by the other 2 band members, Matt and James in NME magazine in 2001. He is multi talented, playing the guitar, piano, drums and Bass as well as singing vocals. He is renowned for his distinguished eyebrows, which he says are "...the biggest and best in the business", and his guitar playing style. On 14 January 2005, he caused Busted to split after deciding to leave the band to concentrate on his other band, Fightstar. The name "Fightstar" was created when bassist Dan Haigh came up with the name "Evenstar" and Charlie thought of the name "A Time To Fight", these names were combined to give the name Fightstar. As well as attending Framlingham, he also attended public school Uppingham, where he met Harry Judd from McFly. The Busted offical site is http://www.busted.com/ while his current band Fightstar can be found at http://www.fightstarmusic.com/ Charlie is also a member of what must be the College’s first family – the Simpsons. See their family tree of who has attended the College here http://www.oldframlinghamian.com/images/articles/SIMPSONFAMILY.pdf .

  • You Gotta Fight (For Your Right to Make Music) | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives You gotta fight (for your right to make music) Page 1 of 4 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists You gotta fight (for your right to make music) By Robin Seaton Thursday 4 May 2006 Robin Seaton met Fightstar in Leeds on their third UK headline tour. They talked about the metal/punk scene and their attempts to forge a post-Busted fanbase You have to admire Charlie Simpson’s optimism, and his bravery. There’s something almost American about his desire for reinvention, something suicidal about his courage in forming a metal/punk band after having left Busted, a group who were one of the most successful manifestations of the legalised child exploitation racket that is pop music. There was almost something postmodern in their management’s attempts to create a patina of ‘rock respectability’ to cover the fundamentally teenager-targeted music. Their (unplugged) guitars, their ‘personalised’ clothes, that bloody endless ‘punk’ gurning. They weren’t fooling anyone, and they knew it. So how did the pretty-boy singer imagine that he could get away with forming a band playing music to punks and metalheads, two groups of music fans notorious for their abilities to sniff out anything fake, popular or safe, then gob on its face and kick its head in? Surely one man and his monobrow could not stand alone against such a tide of beered-up hatred? I went to Leeds to find out. Fightstar’s an appropriate name for a band who’ve had to fight against one kind of fame in order to achieve another.

Working out how working memory works Psychologists assume that humans use working memory to carry out complex tasks, but what form does our working memory take and does it really do anything useful for us? In this talk Professor Jarrold will answer these questions, drawing particularly on research with children and with individuals with developmental conditions. Speaker Professor Chris Jarrold, School of Experimental Psychology Venue Wills Memorial Building, Queen’s Road, BS8 1RJ Admission Free, no booking required. For further information contact Nicola Fry tel: +44 (0)117 92 88515, email: [email protected], web: bristol.ac.uk/pace/public-lectures/inaugural/2011/jarrold.html Organised by the Public and Ceremonial Events Office MONDAY 17 OCTOBER 6 pm TWILIGHT TALK Photography and the discovery of the universe In 2009 we celebrated the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s use of the telescope to usher in the era of modern astronomy. The second major revolution in our understanding the nature of the Universe came with the invention of photography in 1839. This enabled us to see the unseen and allowed astrophysics to flourish. Eventually it also allowed us to photograph the Universe in colour, revealing cosmic landscapes of surprising beauty and variety. This talk is a profusely illustrated, non- technical description of photographic developments to capture the universe and the interesting characters and unexpected ideas that were involved.
