Charly Coombes (Born 27 December 1980, Mountain View, California, USA) is an English multi instrumentalist and vocalist. Currently living in Brighton, England, he is youngest sibling of the Supergrass members Gaz and Rob Coombes. He was keyboard player of the band 22-20s, active from 2003-2006, that released one self-titled album and supported Oasis during their 2005 tour. The band broke-up in early 2006, while recording but never finishing second album. Charly was also a member of the bands, Tumbleweed (Who signed a deal with Polydor Records in 1998), Four Way Trauma and most recently Missing Pieces with Richard Walters. Charly is releasing new music through his own MySpace. He also filled for Supergrass' bassist Mick Quinn during latter's injury in September 2007. He is currently on tour with Supergrass playing second guitar & backing vocals.
Charly has also directed the rockumentary 'Glange Fever' to be released sometime this year (2008). The film follows the Diamond Hoo Ha Men, Duke Diamond and Randy Hoo Ha as they tour the country.
