Began musical life playing in bands such as Tribal Laughter with Max Pashm and Danni Speekman. Formed Bardic Folk band Silver on the Tree in 1988 contributing material to Eye of the Aeon, Mystic Spiral and Morning Glory. Founded the Avalonian Free State Choir in 1992, principally with the intention of performing "Pagan Carols". Also joined Invisible Opera in the same year, originally intended to be a Gong tribute band that wasn't a tribute band, recording Jewel in the Lotus and Open for Isness. Became involved with Tribal Voices, a collective of acoustic musicians, eco-buskers and protest singers in 1998.
Collaborated with other artists including Joie Hinton, Daevid Allen, Brian Gulland, Dave Goodman, Dragonsfly, ici maintenants, Brian Abbott, Altered Native, Space Pirates and Mother Gong. More recently concentrating on solo work - Charm, The Isle of the Dead, and Flutter and held the Bardic Chair of Ynys Witrin (Glastonbury) from 2005 to 2007 becoming one of the Elder Bards of Glastonbury, despite not being very old.
Musical Style: Shamanic Pop, a mixture of UK Festival Psychedelia and British Folk. The music messes with traditional vocal harmonies, left-field jazz-folk, speed funk and heads down, no nonsense mindful space boogie. Tim's lyrics betray a beautiful intelligence, a mixture of deep emotional, intuitive, other-dimensional and mental understanding and tenderness melded together with the power to reach in and move anyone with any sensitivity and enchantingly transport them to another plane. A black belt in origami of the soul.

This is to let you know what's in store for 14th April @ The Assembly Rooms, Glastonbury
Hope you enjoy it. Ash :o)
I'll be supporting Emily Portman - subtlety, depth and enchantment " ...visceral visions of a darker, more brutal Albion… shot through with hints of Alasdair Roberts, Tom Waits and Bjork."
L-U-S-H! fantabulous harmonies on the Prayer! Gorgeous Guitar on She Who... looking forward to seeing/hearing you when you come down with Forcenra - for I believe it to be so (however, I must confess to a -sometimes- rather warped sense of 'reality'!) go well, with mirth and music! x
Hi Tim, hope the Muses are keeping you absolutely tantalised xxx Lucy p.s. Will be mooching around the High st. on Saturday, off to a film premiere in Street in the evening. Maybe bump into you...?
