Written by Jon Stickler
The Charlatans vocalist Tim Burgess and guitarist Mark Collins are set to embark on a series of intimate live shows across the UK starting on March 8th in Wrexham. The shows will see the prolific songwriters performing acoustic and reworked versions of songs from a back catalogue spanning over 20 years. The pair first played the new set at a small show in Manchester last year and had such an overwhelmingly positive reaction they decided to take it out on the road.
The dates are:
March 2011
8th - Wrexham, Central Station (£11)
9th - Blackburn, Live Lounge (£16)
10th - Newcastle, Riverside (£16)
11th - Leeds, Brudenell Social Club (£16)
12th - Stockton, Georgian Theatre (£16)
13th - Manchester, Deaf Institute (£16)
14th - Stoke On Trent, The Underground (£15)
16th - London, Union Chapel (£17.50)*
17th - Brighton, Komedia (TBC)
21st - Glasgow, Oran Mor (£12.50)
To coincide with the tour the band are releasing an EP of six stripped-down and reworked versions of Charlatans classics including 'North Country Boy', 'Only One I Know' and 'Smash The System' from their current album. Both sophisticated and refined, the band has found inspiration in folky Byrds-esque harmonies and Johnny Cash style rockabilly. It will be available to download from iTunes and their website (www.thecharlatans.net) from mid-March, with a limited edition 10” vinyl to follow.
