Sunday big top

[iowighter]

i found this on burgess's myspace

Hi everyone, big news!

I have been asked to curate the Big Top’s lineup at this year’s Isle of White Festival on Sunday the 14th June. With the agreement that The Charlatans headline.

I have already approached quite a few impressive new bands (some you will know, some you might not).

Yet, I wouldn’t mind finding the next big thing, and presenting them to the masses.

So all up and coming bands, be on the look out – you could be taking the stage at The Isle of White Festival!

Also, I am planning to have a very special surprise performance by a well known Hollywood actor that has just decide to take up a music career in Hip-Hop…! (Hopefully it will be his world debut!).

Cheers & here’s to diversity in music.

Youre probably right about Joaquin Phoenix. found this on wikipedia that includes a certain somebody that makes this look a dead cert.

In May 2008, it was reported that Phoenix had been recording songs he had written himself, with Mike Fox (of Little Knickers) handling lead vocals and Tim Burgess (The Charlatans) on backing vocals

wow that answered that question pretty quick

[.jay.]

well to be fair it's been pretty common knowledge for a couple of months now with him appearing on TV shows promoting his supposed new direction but the general consensus seems to be it's just a joke and part of a Mockumentry he and Casey Affleck are making about Celebrity.

here he is on letterman recently.
