WHAT TIM BURGESS SAID
"I'm very excited about the prospect of DJing with Gary – he's got great taste in music," Burgess said.
"The last time we shared a stage was when he joined The Charlatans on guitar. Can't promise we'll be doing any songs together but there might be an impromptu singalong at some point."
