The rest of The Second Line are Nigel Appleton (Mission Impossible, Re-genesis) on drums, Francis Booth on bass, Chris “Wah-Wah” Proctor on guitar and bring-ing a little afro-beat to the mix, Ayo Odia (Osibisa, Fela Kuti) on tenor sax “Right from the outset, the album sounds like it was recorded at a different time, sometime in the past when music was music.…..”Dale Storr, reviewing “It Is What It Is, We Are What We Are” – the band’s self-produced CD from 2017. In Tim’s own words “This is the blues, but with a great big smile on its face”. Get booking for this great show which was a sell-out here back in February.
