Tim and Sam's Tim and the Sam Band

Hello there. I'm Tim. I like making music. Approximately 11 years and 32 days ago, I picked up a guitar....and ever since then I've been writing songs. As time went by I started to try writing with other people who play other instruments. These include Bass, Glockenspiel, Marimba, Banjo, Ukulele, Flute, Clarinet, Violin, Viola, Cello, Piano and drums. We try to sing a bit too, but it usually only goes as far as ahhs.
Sam is my imaginary friend. He helps us write songs and get to sleep at night. He also plays guitar and writes some rather ace songs, but we never really got round to doing it together. You can hear them by clicking Samb in our top friends.
Some things that make us feel like happy bunnies:
A BBC 6Music Session on Marc Riley's Brain Surgery!
Played on Steve Lamacq's 6Music and Radio 2 shows!
PopCult: "New kids on the scene and they have made a set of beautiful instrumental tracks that sound like a crisp autumn day (in the best way possible). A bright future is looking likely."
Manchestermusic: "Tim and his real friends play lovely indie-flavoured melodic post-rock with gorgeous peals of acoustic guitars, a clarinet and a glockenspiel propped up on an ironing board. This seems, for some reason, quite important - in a genre where it sometimes seems bands are trying to out-pretentious each other they seem warm, organic and very down-to-earth."
BBC Online: "a soundtrack to a glorious summer’s day when pints are warm and England are getting thrashed at some ball game or other."
XFM Manchester: "Ones to watch for the future"
Yeah!
