About Me

A collective of musicians, hailing from all corners of the globe and convening in holiday cottages across the British Isles, with the soul purpose of recording the album The Good Ship.The Album is a collection of songs written by Tim West, aided by his old school pal Christian Hardy ((Christian Silva) who is also producing the album), along with Nick Hemming (The Leisure Society) and Ollie Kristian (also the Leisure Society)With an emphasis on a ’live’ feel to the album. The Good Ship pulls from a myriad of different influences from all those concerned in its recording, to create a unique sound.
