Tim Burgess of The Charlatans talks to 6 Music DJ and psychotherapist Nemone

The Charlatans frontman (and originator of Tim’s Twitter Listening Parties) shares the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of his life.

The Charlatans frontman, author, and record label boss talks to 6 Music DJ and psychotherapist Nemone about the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of his life, and how he expresses thoughts, feelings and emotions through his own music and lyrics.

The Charlatans have released thirteen Top 40 studio albums - three of them number ones - alongside twenty two hit singles such as ‘The Only One I Know’, ‘Weirdo’, ‘Can’t Get Out of Bed’, ‘North Country Boy’ and ‘Love Is The Key’.

The rollercoaster highs, in a career spanning 3 decades, have been accompanied by extreme lows; from nervous breakdowns to near bankruptcy and the deaths of two founder band members.

Tim has always been a much-loved figure on the British music scene - from the cool, confident, floppy haired frontman delivering brilliant indie-pop hits of the Madchester years to the industry survivor, building a therapeutic community for music lovers with his ‘Tim’s Twitter Listening Parties’ online during the pandemic.

In this programme, Tim talks to Nemone about family, loss and therapy. Featuring music from New Order, Panda Bear, Dexys Midnight Runners, Judee Sill and Ennio Morricone.
