suncharms They changed my life back in 1987 and I'm still of the opinion that nobody does guitar pop better than they did. All these years later The Chesterf!elds are back to prove they've lost none of their pop chops! the chorus is a veritable who's who of indie royalty which any fan of great music will relate to. As ever there's hooks aplenty and this song will rattle around inside your head all day - POP ANARCHY!!!

38 years since they formed in Yeovil, Somerset, and 28 years since their last record release, The Chesterfields are back in July 2022 with a new single “Our Songbird Has Gone”, a song that founder member Simon Barber has written about his original co-conspirator in the band Dave Goldsworthy, who was tragically killed in a hit and run accident in 2003.

A new album “New Modern Homes’” (co-produced and mixed by John Parish, who produced The Chesterfields’ debut “Kettle” in 1987) will follow in September, with gigs to be announced for a short tour in October. The current line-up features Simon on bass and vocals, Rob Parry on drums, Helen Stickland on guitar and vocals, and Andy Strickland (of The Loft and The Caretaker Race) on guitar and vocals.
