Tim Burgess has been doing Listening Parties on the internet for some time now, with a mix of new bands that make great music and need a leg-up, as well as some real legends of music. It’s been pretty wholesome all told.
Well, all good things must come to an end and Tim’s Listening Party is hanging up its ears, it has been confirmed.
If you somehow missed it, the concept was a lovely and simple one – you all press play on an album at the same time and then the band and pals share their stories about it, and fans could chime in with their memories and views on things, as each song played through in order. It was a delightfully slow way of listening to music as whole pieces, which made the thing so charming.
It had some highlights over the years – our favourite was Holly Johnson of Frankie Goes To Hollywood fame, who had egg and chips for his tea and then fell asleep for the duration of the event.
Tim Burgess says, on Twitter: From Some Friendly to Wham! The Singles. 1,366 albums that we heard together, over 1,213 days from March 23rd 2020. The Twitter @LlSTENlNG_PARTY was a beautiful thing. Thanks to everyone who joined us x x
