Тим Берджесс: Музыкант, әнші және радио жүргізушісінің өмірі мен шығармашылығы

Timothy Allan Burgess (born 30 May 1967) is an English musician, singer songwriter and record label owner, best known as the lead singer of the alternative rock band the Charlatans.

Burgess was born in Worsley, Lancashire, but grew up in Moulton, Cheshire, where he moved when he was five. He went to Leftwich High School. He left school at sixteen, and worked for the ICI overseas distribution department at Runcorn.

Burgess was initially the lead singer in The Electric Crayons (named after the psychedelic compilation album The Electric Crayon Set, released on the Bam Caruso record label), who released one single, "Hip Shake Junkie". Burgess then joined the Charlatans, who were largely influenced by acid house, 1960s era West Coast psychedelia and the Syd Barrett era of Pink Floyd. The Charlatans' debut single "Indian Rope" was successful, and the group subsequently signed to Situation Two, an offshoot of the Beggars Banquet label. In 1990 they released the single "The Only One I Know" on the imprint, which charted in the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. The band have released thirteen studio albums to date. Before the release of the 2004 Charlatans album Up at the Lake, Burgess was living in Los Angeles in the US, away from the other band members who were still based in England. He explained the band's process during that period in a 2012 interview:
"I'm back in London now, but Mark and Tony enjoyed trips out to Los Angeles and we used Los Angeles as a writing tool. I loved the idea of incorporating a city into your music. We used LA quite a lot."

Burgess's debut solo album, I Believe, was released in Europe on 3 September 2003 and included the track "Oh My Corazon". Burgess's second solo album Oh No I Love You was produced by Mark Nevers and recorded at his home in Nashville, Tennessee, US.</blockquote>
Oh No I Love You also features collaborations with Factory Floor, R. Stevie Moore and My Morning Jacket, amongst others. The album was later nominated for the Artrocker 'Album of the Year' award in 2012.

In February 2013, Burgess replaced BBC Radio 6 Music host Lauren Laverne when she and other National Union of Journalists (NUJ) members engaged in strike action against the BBC. In 2019, Burgess made his acting debut in the short film The Bookshop as the protagonist Leonard. In March 2020, when the COVID 19 pandemic resulted in most live music concerts being cancelled, Burgess started "Tim's Twitter Listening Party", where he would tweet whilst listening to an album with one or more guests, normally a member of the band, who would provide insights and anecdotes about the songs, recording the album or other associated items. Over 700 parties were held in the first year. On 31 August 2023, Burgess announced on his X (formerly Twitter) account that there would be no more additions of "Tim's Twitter Listening Party" but it would continue as a radio and podcast format. On 20 March 2023, it was announced that Burgess would present Tim's Listening Party, a six part radio and podcast series based on Tim's Twitter Listening Party, which would air on Sunday nights on Absolute Radio. The first series began on 26 March 2023 followed by a second series on 23 July 2023, which will have eight episodes. A third series began airing on 29 October 2023. A fourth series began on 14 April 2024.

Burgess' autobiography Telling Stories was published in 2012 by Viking Press. Following the release of the book, Burgess responded to a question about whether he would have changed anything about his career:
No, because I would have had to re write it again! Everything that happened happened because we made a decision at a point in time and at certain ages. I had a relationship with drugs for quite a long time. I'm glad it's over but at the same time I don't regret it. I must have enjoyed it because I did it for so long. It's the same with the relationship with other people. They lasted as long as they did because they were mostly quite good. In March 2014, during a BBC Radio 6 interview with Roddy Frame, it was revealed that Burgess is a fan of the music of both Frame and Edwyn Collins and that he invited the pair to play at his Tim Peaks Café at the Kendal Calling music festival in 2013. Frame stated during the interview that Burgess is "so positive" and both will occasionally drink tea together. Burgess lived in the US for twelve years before returning to the UK in 2013; he currently lives in London. In the 1990s, Burgess married a woman named Michelle; they divorced in 2012. From his former partner Nik Void, Burgess has a son, Morgan (b. 2013). He is a fan of Manchester United F. C.
