About Me

All images © Tim Odam/Steve Angel 2006Monkey Finger - A band that have come together to record an album of top tunes and arrangements. Tim Odam began the project a couple of years ago and produced demo's which he took to Greg Brooker, producer at Glasstone Studios (in Bath). Greg liked the music and struck a deal with Tim. This deal has taken a long time to complete, however, Tim and Greg are pleased with the results so far.The album, when complete will be called 'Downtime' and features a collection of original numbers and arrangements of little known songs from other artists.Watch out for the incredible Cello talents of Bethany Porter, the fabulous Bass playing of Flash Gordon, the amazing guitars of Max Noble (currently on UK Tour with 'The Blue Aeroplanes')... and Tim Odam doing a bit of singing, keys, drums and acoustic.Big thanks must go to all at Glasstone.Mega big thanks to Ben Jelly co-writer of many of the featured numbers, yet unable to perform because of time constraints.All images © Tim Odam/Steve Angel 2006

Sounds Like: Different people say different things, one mate thinks it's a bit 'Maroon 5'. I think it sounds 'Old English'. John Anthony who produced Queen, Genesis, The Cars, The Tubes (to name but a few) says, 'This music asks questions that it doesn't answer, I like it'. Another professional friend says, 'The album has warmth and it flows. The music has depth and width. I love it.' The various publishers for the cover versions of 'Chelsea hotel No2' (Sony Canada), 'Dusk' (Carlin/Hit and Run/ Strat Songs), 'You and your sister' (Chris Bell Estate) and 'My friend the sun' (EMI) have allowed publication and written very positive e-mails to my publishing agent about our music. Here's hoping...
