Detalii produs

The Charlatans have had three UK Number One albums and seventeen Top Thirty singles. But they''ve also had to face the imprisonment and death of keyboard player Rob Collins and an accountant who ran off with all their money. Not to mention the rock ''n'' roll excesses of singer Tim Burgess. In his startlingly revealing memoir, not ghosted but written by Burgess himself, he describes how they dealt with their crises, and what''s gone right with the band as much as what''s gone wrong. Brought up in a Cheshire village, he went on to front a band that has travelled the world and was at the forefront of the Madchester and Britpop movements. Telling Stories is a tale of achievement and survival, via a fair bit of heartache, but told with humour. At the centre of it is Tim Burgess''s own story- how someone with a passion for music got to fulfill his dreams. He doesn''t flinch from the dark stuff - the lure of the rock ''n'' roll lifestyle, its sweet enticements - and he confesses in vivid detail how he had to pull himself back from the brink. But along the way he had a lot of good times and met some great people while making great music. It''s all here in Telling Stories. ''I''ve known Tim since the early 90s when he and his band made some of the best singles of that decade. He''s a solid, music-loving, gentle, dry-witted fella who understands the importance of hair.'' Paul Weller ''For a man whose behaviour borders on the suicidal, Timothy Burgess, the people''s friend, is what you call a life enthusiast. He is also mad. It''s a much-abused word, mad . . . but he really is proper coo-ee clouds para-dimensional mad.'' Sylvia Patterson, Sky

Descriere

The Charlatans have had three UK Number One albums and seventeen Top Thirty singles. But they've also had to face the imprisonment and death of keyboard player Rob Collins and an accountant who ran off with all their money. Not to mention the rock 'n' roll excesses of singer Tim Burgess. In his startlingly revealing memoir, not ghosted but written by Burgess himself, he describes how they dealt with their crises, and what's gone right with the band as much as what's gone wrong. Brought up in a Cheshire village, he went on to front a band that has travelled the world and was at the forefront of the Madchester and Britpop movements. Telling Stories is a tale of achievement and survival, via a fair bit of heartache, but told with humour. At the centre of it is Tim Burgess's own story- how someone with a passion for music got to fulfill his dreams. He doesn't flinch from the dark stuff - the lure of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, its sweet enticements - and he confesses in vivid detail how he had to pull himself back from the brink. But along the way he had a lot of good times and met some great people while making great music. It's all here in Telling Stories.
