Tim Hain - singer, guitarist, writer, performer, producer, and author, is above all, a character. A true English eccentric of aristocratic descent, he discovered years ago that he is two percent Jamaican. He’d be arrested if he showed you WHICH two percent…

He was reinvented playing blues guitar for chart-topping reggae artists, and toured with the Black Theatre Co-op as their “token white”.  Since then, with over 1200 gigs in the last seven years under his belt, he has emerged with a new musical genre, “Bleggae”>>>. brilliantly showcased on his new album of the same name.

It has gathered rave reviews from the usually conservative “blues” press: “A breathtaking fusion of Blues and Reggae” according to “Blues in Britain” magazine. “Blues Matters” hails it “a masterpiece! The version  of “The Wind Cries Mary is absolutely wonderful - worth buying for this track!” His fans include former Rolling Stones producer Chris Kimsey, and motor racing legend Sir Stirling Moss.

Tim is also a gifted songwriter of the old school, and has written with the likes of mega-producer Narada Michael Walden, Maggie Ryder, (“You’re The Voice”), Kit Hain, (“Dancing In The City”) and Sting’s guitarist, Dominic Miller.

Steve Blacknell of GoodPR says: “If there are two musical forms I hate, it’s Blues and Reggae, but I LOVE Tim’s album. “If I Ever Get Home”.  a song about a soldier in Iraq, makes me cry everytime I hear it.”

Besides performing constantly with his band “Jamside Up”, he is producing a DVD of his motor racing photographs (click “AUTHOR”). Based on the annual Goodwood “Revival”, it features  a soundtrack of nostalgic songs, and the voice of Sir Stirling Moss.

 A Rastafarian friend of Tim’s recently admonished him for underselling himself:

  “You should tell dem 5 per cent!”
