Hello all!

Since June I've been more of a MySpace regular. A big thank you for all the messages and comments, they really have been appreciated . And a big apology to anyone who I haven't got back to, one does one's best but I don't always have a lot of time to reply to everyone properly.

Domestic and financial problems screwed up the first half of my 2008, so I couldn't give the last album anything like as much promotion as planned. A possible band was coming together, but in the end I had to cancel even the few solo gigs I had lined up. As things stand now, I am quite happy to give my own music a rest for a while, at least during 2009 and maybe longer. I have been here before and always eventually come back to it with a vengeance. We shall see.

Stay groovy if you possibly can in this crazy  old world! Tim  

Season's greetings and all that jazz, 

The new Tim Burness album is finally getting out there, with the first promotional copies and sales having gone out over the last few days. It is technically a December 2007 release, but in reality it will be making its impact in early 2008. Thank you again to all the musicians who contributed, and Julian Tardo in the studio in Hove for his patience and hard work. And thank you to those of you have supported me on MySpace, you know who you are!

It is mostly a return to my er... "progressive rock" roots. As some of you know, I have experimented with all sorts of musical styles down the years and some examples of this can be found at my main website www.timburness.com. Over the last few years however, I have found my way back to many of those late seventies sounds that first inspired me, and in fact "Vision On" is pretty close to the sort of thing I was trying to do with my band Burnessence in the eighties.

Happy New Year to all!

Tim B.  

Well here I am on MySpace at last, only about two years behind everyone else but better late than never I guess. I have had reservations about the whole MySpace ownership thing, plus ideally I would rather be spending less time in front of a computer screen! I intend to use this as an occasional music blog, posting the most important news and developments. You can find a more general blog at http://www.timburness.wordpress.com which is updated every week or so, there's all sorts of stuff about the rest of my life and other interests on that one. Wishing you everything you wish for yourself, love and peace, Tim B.
