Two funerals, one marriage, two divorces, bankruptcy, threats of violence, a chase across Spain, an ill-fated trip to New York, a stolen bicycle and quality time with an old bass guitar.
This really is the circus life!
MESSAGES
​
Hi all
The idea is that this is a hidden page for the band to keep all the key info in once place. So moving forward I'll just send a quick note ton FM messenger to everyone saying 'there's an update' so you can then check in here when you get a chance.

​
The band was formed by former advertising man Charlie Mear who has been described as a man who had it all, lost it all, and now doesn’t want it back!
He started writing songs in 2019 as a way to make sense of a seven-year period of personal tragedies and often bizarre experiences.
Now with life back on track the band has gone from strength to strength and already have a growing following picked up by regularly playing the east coast festival circuit. They won the 2021 Ely Folk Festival competition and were runners up in the 2023 Cambridge Band competition.
The band have been described as carrying on the great tradition of classic pop-rock acts like Del Amitri, Squeeze, REM and Crowded House. Indeed, one reviewer described their song ‘Falling star’ as the best Crowded House song not written by Neil Finn!
But forget comparisons. The best way to get to know This Circus Life is simply to immerse yourself in their music.
