Charles Hedger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Hedger (b. September 18, 1980) showed musical interest from a very early age. When he was 13, his brother gave him a copy of a tape from a local band that some of his friends were in, the demo tape was called The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, from an at the time fledgling British heavy metal band, Cradle of Filth. At the age of 15, he got his first guitar, and learned some riffs with the help of a neighbour, Paul Allender. After learning much about guitar playing, at 19, Charles decided to take his guitar playing seriously, and drop his university classes on Psychology. He moved his studies to London where he was accepted into the Guitar Institute in London.
The following year his brother died, and Charles became greatly influenced to continue his guitar career in honour of his brother. He then started his own band, "End of Invention," in which he played lead guitar and vocals. He also began teaching guitar lessons at Colchester Institute, and studied Orchestration and Composition.
Then, in 2005, Charles received a call and was asked to fill in for Dave Pybus, who made a short leave, in the 2005 Cradle of Filth tour. He accepted, and played bass for Cradle of Filth on their 2005 tour.
Upon the return of Dave Pybus, Charles took a guitar position and currently plays guitar along with Paul Allender.
