‘Tom captured the times – the lows and the many highs – and shared them all with us, documenting, encouraging and capturing a real, authentic timeline of fantastic pictures.’

This is the inside story of The Charlatans, told through the lens of legendary photographer Tom Sheehan and the words of the band’s frontman Tim Burgess.

More than 250 of Sheehan’s photographs – blending iconic shots with those seen here for the first time – are accompanied by moving and insightful text from Burgess, sharing his memories of a band at the very height of their powers.

Covering a decade of the band’s story, the book captures recording sessions, live performances, cover shoots, tours and intimate moments snatched backstage and around the world.

Beautifully presented in a cloth-bound hardback, this book is a stunning visual history of The Charlatans, one of the defining bands of a generation.
