No cookie dough for Tim

HEADLINING a festival where you're rewarded with a constant supply of Ben &
Jerry's sounds like enough to make anyone salivate - that is, except TIM
BURGESS.

Bill-toppers THE CHARLATANS will rock the main stage at Sundae On The
Common in Clapham next month, where ice-cream will be coming out of people's
ears.

But after taking drugs for 20 years, The Charlatans' frontman has turned his
life around - and exists on a mostly wheat-free, diary-free and gluten-free
diet.
Imagine depriving yourself of the mouth-watering flavours when you're not
even allergic to them.
But thankfully the band have requested two sorbet flavours for their rider -
so Tim doesn’t feel left out when the rest of them are indulging.

Indie God Burgess said: "I am really excited at the prospect of playing
at this years Ben & Jerry’s festival, it has it all... the weather, the
line up and the atmosphere.

"The band have wanted to play there for a while now but due to other
commitments we were unable to so we are glad to finally be getting the
opportunity this summer."

Support for the July 26 and 27 weekender comes from the GUILLEMOTS, DELAYS,
CHARLOTTE HATHERLEY, FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE, BRIGHTLIGHTS
and THE TROUBADOURS.
