TIM HAIN
Tim is a vibrant, entertaining performer and songwriter, whose roots
are in Blues and Reggae.
He will often
improvise a lyric on stage, later crafting this into one of the
Blues-Reggae hybrids for which he is so well known.
Driven by WORX,
a band which powerfully melds the flavas of Chicago and Jamaica, he will
rock you with favourites like "Crazy 'bout An Automobile" and roll you
with his dub workout of the classic "Need Your Love So Bad", which has
had repeated airplay from Paul Jones. He'll also have you dancing and
singing along to his own superb songs, many of which beg to be covered
by established artists.
Tim has worked with the best on both sides of the Atlantic. In San
Francisco he gigged with John Lee Hooker's daughter
Zakiya and Starship's
Pete Sears. He
played guitar for reggae chart-toppers
Tyrone Taylor and
Winston Reedy
and has opened for artists as diverse as
Chaka Khan, Narada Michael Walden, Tony
Joe White, Curtis Stigers
and Thomas Mapfumo.
He regularly works with
Papa George, Robin Bibi,
teenage sensation Andy
Cortes and singer-songwriter
Clea Llewellyn. He also
jammed with Jeff Beck recently when Jeff attended one of Tim's gigs.
"As
well as being a brilliant guitarist he has a great voice and injects
'World' feel into his music."
