2 unusual facts about Tales Told


Ian Broudie

After The Lightning Seeds dissolved in 2000, Broudie produced albums by artists such as The Coral and The Zutons before releasing his own solo album Tales Told in 2004.

On 11 October 2004, Broudie released his debut solo effort, Tales Told, which was embraced by critics and fans alike — despite that fact that Tales Told saw Broudie move into folk rock territory and away from the chirpy pop tunes of The Lightning Seeds.
