In 1971 -1972 Tim formed an acoustic duo with guitarist Dave Green, playing country blues. They were managed by Celia Turner, the wife of Dave Turner for whom Tim did several support gigs and who was a close friend. He had a huge influence on Tim’s musical development.

Dave Green adds “Tim and I were doing the acoustic Brownie Mcghee and Sonny Terry thing plus a few of Tims own songs, Tim was an excellent song writer. This went on for a while, then the duo was extended with the addition of John “Woofer” Sanderson on tenor saxophone, flute and occasional violin And last but seriously not least, Mick Wheat on double bass and electric bass. This line up did collages, theatre foyers until Tim, John and Mick headed of to London and I headed of bock to the local folk scene!”

Tim Disney played in many bands but most notably Desperate Dann. Read about Desperate Dann here. Tim Disney Band Timeline here.
