GOODTIME COUNTRY FOLK & BLUES.

Tim is originating in Brighton, true cradle of the rebirth of the music folk, blues and country in the years' 60' 70.
Within this movement were famous' the folk clubs', these small rooms (often in the pubs!) accommodating amateurs of the acoustic music.
It is in this environment hot and family that Tim starts to sing at the fourteen years age and the experiment and the contact with other musicians quickly bring a great diversity of material to him traditional and contemporary to which are added American blues and gospels, Irish ballades as well as humorous pieces of the' music hall' English etc - a very wide range always reflected at the time of its concerts more than 30 years later -
Professional singer at 22 years, Tim traversed the United Kingdom and Europe with his music (Jersey International World Music Festival, Camridge Folk Festival, Förcheim Annafest (D), Belfort Folk and Blues (F)... as well as countries even more remote:
-Australia (with the' National Folk Festivals' of Perth and Alice Springs)
-The USA (British Airways Farming Exchange Festival, NR.Y.J
-North Africa (turned organized by the Minister for the Algerian cultural affairs)
-West Africa (Kenya - Bacchus Club in Nairobi, celebrates it Muthaiga Country Club), Zimbabwe, Malawi
-South Africa, Sudan (turned for the British Cultural Council)
-Hong Kong

     Its spectacles offer to you a repertory of a great eclecticism while passing by the COUNTRY of yesterday and today (John Prine, Guy Clarke, Jimmy Buffet, Steve Goodman...), BLUES of the rev. Gary Davis, Bessie Smith,' Leadbelly', Big Bill Broonzy..., of the' relookés' pieces of the high-speed motorboats of the Anglo-Saxon CONTEMPORARY MUSIC (Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, Sting, Jim Croce, Eric Clapton, Richard Thompson, the Dylan eternal, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell...), some' STANDARDS' of the rock'n'roll in acoustic version, the English and Irish BALLADES, and even a piece or two in French if you are quite wise! The sung whole of a pure voice, accompanied by a very skilful style of' picking' to the guitar and by a bit of humour very British for one evening' unplugged' which moves!
