Charlie is now one of a long line of local people to be awarded the Freedom of the Borough of Wirral.
Mayor Cllr Brian Kenny handed Charlie the award adding that he thoroughly deserved the honour.
Attendees of the event included his family, Ricky Tomlinson, Billy Butler and Stan Boardman amongst other local celebrities.
Charlie, who is not normally a fan of formal occasions, said he thoroughly enjoyed the day and was delighted with the free food and drink!
Charlie received the award on the 28th of April 2026 and is the latest addition to a long line of people receiving the Borough of Wirral''s highest civil award.
Charlie has said he is very grateful and humbled to have won this award.
As many of you will know, there is a mural of Charlie Landsborough on a wall of Birkenhead North station which is near to where Charlie grew up.
The mural was originally completed in 2022 but was sufferening from peeling paint. Charlie is pictured here with the renowned Liverpool artist Paul Curtis who is responsible for the artwork.
This time the wall was treated before Paul restored the image to its former glory.
You can see more of Paul Curtis's work all throughout Merseyside and further afield or by visiting his website www.paulcurtisartwork.com

It is now possible to purchase karaoke videos of Charlie's songs. These videos were commissioned by Charlie and have been created by Grahame Tomlinson and contain backing tracks along with on-screen lyrics. Each download contains an mp4 video format as well as MP3 CD+G.
These Individual Songs - Sheet Music Booklets have been a great success for our Fans who want the enjoyment of playing Charlie’s music themselves. We have been selling them in the hard-copy format. Unfortunately, as we all know the world is being subject to rising costs, which are out of all proportion. We have investigated how we can keep these costs down, while being able to still supply what appears to be a great demand for these booklets and will still enable our Fans to obtain the sheet music of Charlie’s songs.
We are pleased to advise ALL our Fans that we have introduced onto our website a new download section totally for these Individual Songs - Sheet Music Booklets
The format of the packs is pdf. Each pack includes lyrics, piano and guitar chords as well as some insight from Charlie as to the inspiration and meaning behind the songs.
The following backting tracks of Charlie's cover version of Beatles songs are now available for purchase
I have known Charlie from the
beginning of his career and was one of the first to interview him. I had great pleasure in giving him the award on stage at
Salisbury City Hall and inducting him into The British Country Music Hall Of Fame. He is alongside some of the many British
Country Music greats who like Charlie have given so much talent to audiences all over the world, showing that Britain can
produce top class singers, songwriters, and musicians.
