John meets The Charlatans for what will be their first music press interview.
In this conversation, a 21 year old Tim Burgess has just joined the band and they discuss tracks such as ‘Indian Rope’, ‘Sonic’ and ‘Sproston Green’, as well as the legendary Haçienda club and the importance of always listening to new music.
This interview gives interesting insight into a fresh new band on the cusp of greatness amidst the burgeoning - and now iconic - Madchester scene.
