OK, so we did a survey and lots of you (95%!) would like a souvenir ticket from a show. So we are going to make them for you. They’ll be FREE and downloadable from our app. Stand by for updates 🙌

A mixture of all those things - sometimes other Charlatans bring in ideas or completed songs and we build around that. For solo stuff I sit with a guitar and stare out of the window

McKie's Disc Jockey Show Lounge @mckiesdjlounge.bsky.social · 8d

When writing, what comes first, music or lyrics?

Tim Burgess @tim-burgess.bsky.social · 8d

That’s a question we are asking ourselves this week 😉

Colin @colshut.bsky.social · 8d

@tim-burgess.bsky.social what song from an old album will make its live debut on the forthcoming UK tour?

Tim Burgess @tim-burgess.bsky.social · 8d

We played in Sao Paolo and Recife and both gigs were amazing. We swam with some sharks - hopefully we can come back one day (for the gigs rather than the sharks)

Nandosiol @nandosiol.bsky.social · 8d

What are your best memories of the shows with The Charlatans here in Brazil?

West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys - The Droyds did a great version of North Country Boy

David O’Callaghan @mrhutzir.bsky.social · 8d

@tim-burgess.bsky.social what song by another artist do you wish you had written? Also who has done the best cover of a Charlatans song in your opinion? Thanks

If you could re-record an album in the charlatans' discography would it be and why?

I miss our fishing trips - favourite stories often happened on those trips. Let’s just say we were a lot younger and quite wreckless. We took more than a few worms 😳

Niall Collins @colliniho.bsky.social · 8d

What do you miss most about Rob? Can you tell us your favourite story about him?

Tim Burgess @tim-burgess.bsky.social · 8d

I’d love to

Paul Davidson @elementalpaul.bsky.social · 8d

Would you, either solo or with The Charlatans, ever consider doing an entire film score or soundtrack?

Tim Burgess @tim-burgess.bsky.social · 8d

Let’s say new order but our two tours of the U.S. with Ride were epic. Can we make it a triple header?

Helen Bull @helbo1.bsky.social · 8d

Who’s your dream tour co-headliner (current or not!)?

Tim Burgess @tim-burgess.bsky.social · 8d

I went to a restaurant called Luca in Farringdon last night. I’d get those guys in but maybe they’d ask why I was being executed 😬

Keep them cheery!

Daragh Mulligan @dazmanonline.bsky.social · 8d

What would be your death row meal??

Tim Burgess @tim-burgess.bsky.social · 8d

Lots of lyrics written in the park. I go for a walk each day and lots of inspiration there
