TIM HINKLEY




Exquisite keyboardist (to me, his best skills are on piano), he has a very interesting career along 4 decades. He was born on May 25, 1946, in London, England.
BO ST. RUNNERS
This band had many lineups since its formation in 1964, and it's not easy tracking them down. They released and EP, and they won the 'Ready Steady Win' TV contest, and that's when Tim Hinkley joined them.

John Dominic (vocals)
Dave Cameron (bass)
Tim Hinkley (keyboards)
Bobby O'Brien (drums)
The band recorded 2 singles, although I don't know if Tim appears in any of them.

After a while, Tim asks Mick Fleetwood to join the band in April 1965.

John Dominic (vocals)
Dave Cameron (bass)
Tim Hinkley (keyboards)
Mick Fleetwood (drums)
+ others unknown to me. Help!
They release a 3rd single, 'Baby never say goodbye / Get out of my way, in July 1965.

But Mick Fleetwood leaves the band to join Peter B's Looners in February 1966. Next singer to join was the great Mike Patto:

Mike Patto (vocals)
Dave Cameron (bass)
Tim Hinkley (keyboards)
+ others unknown to me. Help!
A fourth single was released in 1966 with Patto, 'Drive my car / So very woman'.

But legal problems with the band name forced them to turn into a new combo, Patto's People.

But they quickly changed their name to Chicago Line Blues Band. Then, they recorded a single in 1966, 'Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop / Jump back'. They split soon after.

JODY GRIND
Jody Grind was a band formed by Tim Hinkley around 1969. This was the lineup at the time their first album, One step on, was recorded:

Ivan Zagni (guitar)
Tim Hinkley (keyboards)
Barry Wilson (drums)
The band has no bassist, so old mate Louis Cennamo, played in a few songs. Also appearing, David Palmer (arrangements). After the album, Zagni and Wilson formed a new band with Cennamo, and Tim recruited another great lineup:

Bernie Holland (guitar)
Tim Hinkley (keyboards)
Pete Gavin (drums)
They released a 2nd album, Far canal, before splitting.

ALVIN LEE & CO.
Alvin Lee was (and still is) the superb guitarist and singer in the fantastic Ten Years After. When the band first dissolved, he formed his own band under the name Alvin & Co., with great musicians. He assembled an all star band for a one-off gig, for recording a live album on March 22, 1974, at The Rainbow in London.

By the way, the concert was also filmed, but not broadcasted, so someone should release it any day soon!

STREETWALKERS
After the separation of great band Family, Chapman and Whitney recorded a joint album, called Chapman Whitney Streetwalkers. The original idea was to keep the band as a duo (Chapman and Whitney).

They recorded that first album with several former companions in Family: John Wetton (bass, then in King Crimson, and later in Uriah Heep and many other great bands), Ric Grech, Jim Cregan, Poli Palmer, as well as Boz Burrell, Ian Wallace & Michael Giles (all from King Crimson), Tim Hinkley, Neil Hubbard and Max Middleton, Godfrey McLean (percussion), Linda Lewis (vocals).

But they soon realized they need to secure a stable line up for live shows. That's how Streetwalkers band was born. The lineup in May 1974, was:

Roger Chapman (vocals)
Charlie Whitney (guitar)
Bobby Tench (guitar, vocals)
Tim Hinkley (keyboards)
Mel Collins (sax)

Questions to solve:

1. Jody Grind. Were Elton Dean or Boz Burrell ever members of the band?

2. Mainsqueeze. This band comprised several great veteran musicians from the British blues-rock scene. Keef was in the band for a short time. Can anyone give me details about the musicians? I think once I saw an ad for a gig, but my memory can't remember the exact names. Maybe Keith Tillman, Kuma Harada, Tim Hinkley. I'm sure about Eric Bell being in the band. I've also read that they released a live album (recorded at Ronnie Scott's, I think), but don't know if Tim plays there. Does anyone know?

3. Check for info. He has produced albums for Ten Years After, Gene Pitney, Kiki Dee, Elkie Brooks, Wayne Carson.

4. More facts. He has played with The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, George Harrison, King Crimson, Eric Burdon, Tom Waits, Johnny Halliday.

5. He has been musical director for Kiki Dee. When and who was in the band?

6. He toured around 1999 with Mick Taylor again. Look for info

7. Is Tim the keyboardist "Uncle Willy Wonky" in The Riffburglars albums? He sings "Watch your step" in their 1st album.
