Tim

I'm Tim Landells, a solo acoustic musician based in Kingscliff. I play covers - a lot of 70s and 80s (Clapton, Neil Young, the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty) plus newer songs people know - with a bit of a vintage feel to my voice and guitar.

The thing that sets my solo set apart is the loop pedal: I build riffs and lead lines over my chords as I play, so it fills out a lot more than you'd expect from one guitar and a voice. I've been playing for 25 years, and I read the room - relaxed background music when that's the vibe, or drawing people in and getting a singalong going when the mood's right.

I'm fully self-contained (my own PA, mic and guitar), quick to set up and easy to deal with, and I've also got a battery-powered amp for spots without power. I write my own original music as Blue Poppy too.

Fully self-contained — professional EV EVOLVE PA, microphones, guitars and all leads included. All I need from you: a flat performance space roughly 2m × 2m, two standard power points (240V) within reach, and a little time to set up and pack down (about 30 minutes each way). Happy indoors or undercover outdoors. I keep the volume sensible and easy on the ears, and adjust levels to suit the room.
