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!
