Rock and pop fans have much to thank The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess for due to his nightly Twitter Listening Parties celebrating the album format during the dark days of lockdown.
However, it seems long-time admirers of Scottish indie band The Soup Dragons have more reasons than many to be grateful to the 56-year-old singer. The communal gatherings to share memories on social media inspired Sean Dickson, The Soup Dragons’ frontman, to reunite the fondly remembered original line-up of the group from the late 1980s and early 90s for a short UK tour. “A few years ago I’d done two listening parties for the albums Lovegod and Hot Wired,“ he recalls.
After considerable success in the early 1990s, thanks to The Soup Dragons’ dance updating of the Rolling Stones song I’m Free, followed by another band High Fidelity, he found himself deeply unhappy. Although married with a daughter, in 2001 he finally admitted he was gay. Soon after, consumed with guilt, his life spiralled.
