World on 3 - Charlie Gillett
Charlie Gillett with sounds from around the world, and a studio session by one of New Zealand's finest, the Wellington-based seven-piece band Fat Freddy's Drop. The band call themselves a 'seven-headed soul monster', but their musical range also stretches to roots, dub, reggae and jazz. A fiercely independent group, they forned their own label The Drop in 1999 to release their first tracks. They made their reputation as a live band playing long improvisations, then in 2006 they released their first full studio album, Based on a True Story, which became an international hit. They now regularly tour summer festivals across the world and their second album, Dr Boondigga and the Big BW - a reference to major record labels - was released in 2009.
