Tim Penn & The Second Line: The much-feted singer and pianist Tim Penn is one of the leading ‘go to’ musicians on the London Blues & Roots scene. Back in the 70’s he played with the legendary Dorris Henderson’s Eclection and was in the Kevin Coyne Band alongside Andy Summers (The Police), before going onto become bandleader of one of London’s top New Orleans influenced R&B outfit The Second Line. The band will take you on a magical journey through 20th Century American jazz and blues, referencing all the greats from Louis Armstrong, through the New Orleans’ piano masters such as Fats Domino and Dr John, to Ray Charles, Tom Waits and Tim's own compositions.
Together with Tim on vocals and driving piano are the hugely talented guitarist Chris ‘Wah-Wah’ Proctor, Nigerian saxophonist Ayo Odia ((Fela Kuti, Osibisa), adding his own unique palette of Afro-Beat and High-Life to the musical gumbo, Nigel Appleton (Metheny Big Band, ReGenesis) on drums and Francis Booth (Nadine Khouri) on bass. Over the last few years, the band have had a string of sell-out shows at some of London's top club venues. In Tim’s own words “This is the blues, but with a great big smile on its face”
