Tim Burgess of The Charlatans

Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess talks about his book Telling Stories, plus a cynical romp through the day's news - enough to keep you entertained until lunch.

Do you want too much chat, not enough music and too many adverts? Try someone else. Want the perfect balance of brilliant alternative music and waking witticisms? Try us. A rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events, to the perfect morning soundtrack for anyone music-lover; from northern soul to new folk; rock 'n' roll to indie disco. New tracks from the likes of Friendly Fires and Foals are nestled in next to the back catalogues of Hendrix and The Smiths. Shaun is joined live in studio by Matt Everitt for an irreverent take on the day's music news. Slip in an A-list guest, and you're laughing.

And today's A-lister is none other than Charlatans front-man Tim Burgess - it's going to be a lot of fun as Tim recalls his colourful past in one of the UK's biggest bands of the 90's, which is what his book 'Telling Stories' is all about.
