Tim (bang, crash, wallop) Willis

Tim's our new drummer.

He's also the new youngster to the band, reducing the average age of the band by some considerable amount as he has only recently qualified for his senior citizens railcard, whereas the rest of us can't remember what a railway is half the time.

Tim's trying to recreate his misspent youth, recalling the days when he played in a 1970's show band called "The Brass Syndrome" and doing all the clubs in South Wales. That was until the Welsh got their devolution and the first thing the Welsh Parliament did was to vote to deport him.

The highpoint of his musical training was lessons from Pic Withers of Dire Straits fame. Shame Tim can't remember anything he learned from Pic.

All this semi-professional background means that Tim joins Ken as another member who has actually done some serious music in the past. Makes Malc and Peter feel overwhelmed!

Welcome Tim.
