BRICKEL, Tim 1987–1995 (Pe B, Pe A)
Update from Tim, 05/03/09
After leaving CH I went to Leeds College of music to study Jazz (BA hons).
I now perform with a number of different artists around the country and more and more often internationally. I have done loads of sessions over the last 10 years for Yorkshire Television….Emmerdale, Heartbeat, The Royal, At home with the Braithwaites, A touch of Frost etc etc. (After seeing the news today, hopefully that won’t be the last).
I teach for 4 days a week in schools 1 on 1 Drum - kit.
I’ve built a studio in the garden where I also teach, record and play.
My main and most exiting project at the moment is with my girlfriend Sarah Mitchell (www.sarahmitchell.biz) who has now been signed to Candid records (Jamie Cullum, Clare Teal, Stacey Kent). About to be release on April 30th at Pizza Express (Dean street) in London, is an album we recorded ourselves at home called ‘You give me something’.
We have just performed at the Dubai Jazz Festival along with Spyro Gyra and Peter Cincotti.
I have recently played with Julian Jackson (Fellow Old Blue) in his function band. What a player he is now! On the bass, drums and piano…gulp. A legend in London I hear. I have also been converting some old Beating retreat/ showband/ jazz trio videos to digital which has been really interesting.
There are plenty of current videos and pictures on Sarah’s website, and I also have a Myspace website which is www.myspace.com/timbrickel1
