The Famous Charisma Discography covers all known UK issues on record and tape.

Full description of the book
Bristol Folk Publications is a small (but perfectly flawed) publishing company that plans to publish occasionally rather than often. In this way quality, rather than quantity, is the watchword. BFP's manifesto is simple: to publish books about Bristol and books written by Bristolians (and adopted Bristolians).
