Life

Charly Hörnemann is a son of the singer and bassist Johnny Horne and Vera Bruno, a classically trained dancer, who are known through Radio-Télé Luxembourg (RTL). He started playing the ukulele at the age of six, guitar at the age of eight, and a year later he began studying violin (teacher René Eiffes), harmony and solfeggio at the Luxembourg State Conservatory. Together with his father, he first played pieces by Carcassi, Tarrega and Carulli, but soon discovered the music of Les Paul and Jørgen Ingmann. At the age of 14, he won the trophy "Coupe de Radio Télé Luxembourg" as the best instrumental group with the formation "The Sharks". The band members back then were Guy Wagner, drums, Marc Jaeger, electric bass, Claude Schroeder, rhythm guitar. At 17 he got the job as a guitarist in the Luxembourg theater orchestra, under the direction of his violin teacher René Eiffes at the time. In 1967 he founded the rock formation "We Feel" with Raymond Hilbert, Willy Pultz and Georges "Pipo" Petro, which achieved cult status in Luxembourg. With Jerry Berkers replacing Willy Pultz (Pultz was newly married at the time) the band went on a 4-month tour through South Vietnam to entertain the US troops under the name "The Rainbows". Back in Europe (Berkers stayed in Vietnam) "We Feel" recorded the single "Somewhere, Everywhere" / "On The Screen" with Hilbert's successor Lucien "Luke" Haas, but the band broke up shortly afterwards due to lack of success.

In 1970/71 he accompanied the singer and entertainer and multi-instrumentalist Fausti Cima on guitar, especially on a German discotheque tour. Hörnemann wrote the titles "Sweet Mary-Anne" and "Schalalaleila I'm a little mouse" for Fausti. Then a year with the "Luxembourg Singers", a 10-piece "Small Big Band" under the direction of trumpeter Tony Schuster.

In 1973 solo recordings followed in the Morgan studio in Brussels for the album Milton Di Sao Paulo "Dolce" (producer René Guitton, composer Alec Kouyoumdjian, arrangements Yvan Jullien). In the same year Hörnemann received an offer from the band Marshall Higgins, which mainly played in Switzerland, and soon after moved to Switzerland. The band was one of the most successful bands of the 1970s, Hörnemann stayed until the end of 1977 and then decided to study music again.

This was followed by two years of training at the “ Swiss Jazz School ” in Bern with the American jazz guitarist Ira Kriss . At the same time he was a member of the "Roland-Baker Showband" (as guitarist / singer / bassist) and played at large events in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Oslo and Mexico City.

Since the early 1980s he was active as Charly Hornemann in the Munich studio scene. He worked mainly as a studio musician and guitarist , but also as a composer , arranger and producer with numerous artists such as Angela Wiedl , Semino Rossi , Osibisa, Ralph Siegel, Hans Hammerschmidt, Eugen Cicero , Roy Black and the Kastelruther Spatzen .
