Tim Burgess sends message in Welsh to fans ahead of Cardiff show
There are three things you can rely on – death, taxes and Tim Burgess being a thoroughly lovely bloke.
The frontman of Madchester heroes The Charlatans, who kept us all entertained during lockdown with his Tim’s Twitter Listening Parties on social media, sent a message to fans ahead of his band’s sold out show at The Great Hall, at Cardiff University this evening.
Taking to Instagram, he endeared himself to many by posting a message in Welsh.
He wrote: “Mae’n wych bod yn ôl yng Nghymru. Ni methu aros i chwarae ein sioe yn Caerdydd sydd wedi gwerthu allan heno. Welwn ni chi nes ymlaen os oes gennych chi docyn.”
This translates as: “It’s great to be back in Wales. Can’t wait to play our sold out show in Cardiff tonight. We’ll see you there if you have a ticket.”
Understandably, there were many who praised the singer with some even offering to give him Welsh lessons.
We think it’s a simple things that can be so effective, so diolch Tim, for your use of Welsh.
For those who were unsuccessful in getting a ticket for The Charlatans’ sold out show at The Great Hall, the band will be back in the Welsh capital next summer when they support New Order at a huge open air gig.
