The Charlatans - Live at Bristol o2 Academy - 26th November 2021

Remember Tim Burgess?

He’s had a quiet few years so you’d be forgiven for presuming he’d gone into early retirement, living a hermit life in his new found digs over in sleepy Norfolk, ruminating about the days gone by.

We jest, of course. Last year was a busy one for Burgess (solo album, EP and the biggest project of all; Tim’s Twitter Listening Parties), but in 2021 he’s really been making up for lost time.

The Twitter Listening Party empire shows no signs of slowing down, last year’s solo material has already been toured, he’s involved in numerous books, he continues to curate his Tim Peaks Stage at Kendal Calling, and The Charlatans have released a career spanning box-set: A Head Full Of Ideas. The Busiest Man In Rock is even doing tram announcements on the Transport for Greater Manchester service this week (seriously).

Hearteningly, it seems that nothing distracts from the day job. Anyone with a cursory knowledge of British rock is aware of The Charlatans’ history (and tragedies), but this most durable of bands just keep going and, like all the other lifers, it’s clear from the looks on their faces that they do it because they love it.
