John Lennon used to stop and write his ideas down; I choose not to. I'm enjoying myself so much I don't want to stop. In March 2014, during a BBC Radio 6 interview with Roddy Frame, it was revealed that Burgess is a fan of the music of both Frame and Edwyn Collins and that he invited the pair to play at his Tim Peaks Café at the Kendal Calling music festival in 2013. Frame stated during the interview that Burgess is "so positive" and both will occasionally drink tea together. Burgess lived in the US for twelve years, before returning to the UK in 2013; he currently lives in Holt, Norfolk with his partner Nik Void and son Morgan and is a fan of Manchester United F.C.
