Contribution/Role/Speciality: | Singer |
The American singer Patti Smith was Tim’s first inspiration musically. He first heard Horses whilst boarding at Shrewsbury School on the night he was told his father was in hospital and might not make it through the night. Her lyrics made a connection that stayed with him and in 2005 he performed at Royal Festival Hall at her request as part of the Meltdown Festival.
