Jayson Perrin wrote a love song to Charnwood women

Jayson Perrin wrote 'Charney Gurl' celebrating the style and attitude of women from his hometown, Charnwood.

Jayson Perrin grew up in Charnwood (postcode 2615) and has been obsessed with the women of the area for almost five decades. Jayson loves their toughness and attitude, especially when paired with flannel shirts and ugg boots.

Jayson's song Charney Gurl, a mix of rap and rock, celebrates the bogan dress style of the 80s, bubble-gum jeans and big hair, that captivated the young men around him. The song has been streamed 442 times on YouTube and is spreading through Facebook Messenger among actual Charney girls.

Jayson plays in the band Flat Chat and wrote the track to mark a time when metal and hip-hop collided in his teenage years. The band sees their main mission as supporting men's mental health through camaraderie and shared passion.

Why it mattersA small-town love letter to a specific place and its people, shared proudly by those it celebrates.
