The Charlatans and Cork Jazz Festival

The Charlatans, formed in West Midlands in 1988, blend classic rock with '60s psychedelia and Brit-pop. Known for hits like "The Only One I Know," their sound was anchored by Rob Collins’ swirling organs. Despite setbacks, including Collins' tragic death, they achieved UK chart-toppers like Tellin' Stories. Collaborations with the Chemical Brothers and cameos from Paul Weller and Johnny Marr highlighted their versatility. Celebrated for their resilience and legacy, they remain iconic in British rock history.
