Louis Dunford Releases ‘Did You Hear About Charlie?’ Ahead Of Deluxe Album ‘Be Lucky - Last Orders’

Louis Dunford’s new single “Did You Hear About Charlie?” is one of his rawest yet. It’s built around a simple guitar line and a clear message: loss, memory, and the kind of childhood friendship that leaves a permanent mark. The chorus hits hard: “run Charlie, run, ”no filler, just that same emotional honesty Louis has built his name on.

The single sets the stage for Be Lucky – Last Orders, the deluxe version of his debut album set to drop October 3rd. Alongside “Did You Hear About Charlie?”, the reissue includes another new track, “Dear Rita,” continuing the tradition of sharp, personal storytelling that’s made Louis one of the most quietly important voices in British songwriting right now.

Louis doesn’t do fiction. He writes about what’s in front of him - mates, memories, pubs, family - and doesn’t dress it up. That clarity cuts through. He’s not trying to sound polished or poetic; he’s just saying it straight.

Nothing about Louis feels industry-polished. His work still sounds like it could’ve been written in the backroom of a pub, between rounds. “Did You Hear About Charlie?” proves that even with the spotlight getting brighter, Louis Dunford is still writing for the people who’ve been listening since day one. No tricks, no switch-up, just stories worth hearing.
