Tim Burgess - The Charlatans

My guest on this episode is Tim Burgess -
frontman of The Charlatans, solo artist, DJ, author, and the man
behind the hugely popular Twitter Listening Parties.


Long before his own band became one of the defining acts of the
’90s, Tim was a kid in the late ’70s flipping Jam singles at his
dad’s youth club, soaking up every note of Paul Weller’s music.


That teenage fandom never went away.


In this episode we talk about how Paul’s songs shaped Tim’s early
years, the influence of The Style Council on his own outlook, and
how, years later, Paul Weller went from hero to collaborator and
friend.


From surprise phone calls and festival appearances to studio
sessions at Black Barn, this is a conversation full of stories
that chart Tim’s journey from fanboy to peer.


From school discos and loafers to Los Angeles dinners and
festival encores, Tim shares the stories of how Weller’s music
inspired him, and how that bond grew into friendship and
collaboration.
