Tim Burgess – Tellin’ Stories

I have no qualms in telling you that this will be one of the most biased book reviews you will ever read. “Tellin’ Stories” by Tim Burgess is an autobiography by the lead singer of a band who had me pouting into mirrors and combing the hair over my eyes throughout much of the early 90’s. It is also one of the most passionate, honest and affable books you will ever read – “more a chat in a pub rather than a document of every move I made”. Do yourself a huge favour, dig out “Some Friendly”, stick on some headphones and enjoy the journey. By the end of the book you’ll not only feel like you know a true icon of the Madchester scene, you’ll feel like he’s your mate.
