Event information

**TIM BURNESS** is a UK pop/rock/prog musician, who has been writing and performing since the 1980s, having released eight albums. 2024 sees the launch of fab new material collaborating with a new band of musicians to freshen up the creative juices. Tim’s previous albums have been well received and critically acclaimed in the Prog and art-rock circles with his socially conscious, spiritually searching and deep thinking lyrics particularly striking a chord. It is always a pleasure to show case Tim’s latest work at the Real Music Club.

**RUBBER BUS** formed in Brighton in the early 1990s sharing international stages with the likes of Transglobal Underground, Loop Guru, Hawkwind, Here & Now and many more. They released a series of cassettes and a full album Take It Easy and contributed tracks to several compilation albums, most notably the infamous Music For Coffeeshops comp on Dreamtime alongside Porcupine Tree, Astralasia, Ship Of Fools and Back To The Planet in 1996.

Since reforming after a twenty-year hiatus in 2019, Rubber Bus are now based in and around the South West with original members Saul Yarg (electronics/vocals) and Just George (guitar loops) plus synth wizard Andy Roid (ex-Here & Now) and King Razor (GRUPPE!) on bass and electronics. This new version of the band has a new emphasis on ambient space while still utilizing dub-influenced and psychedelic electronics and beats often featuring guest musicians Gregg McKella (Paradise 9) on tin clarinet, wordsmith Tim Hawthorn (The Anarchetypes, Invisible Opera Company of Tibet), Nick Raybould (Thought Bubble) on percussion and Hope Schachter (Coosticks) on flute and clarinet to further texture their sound.
New albums Visual Radio Arts Live, Noh Yogah and Return To Reason are available at Bandcamp: www.rubberbus.bandcamp.com with a new studio album, Welcome To Karmic City mooted for release in 2024.

Writing in The Wire magazine, Byron Coley described their 2020 album Return To Reason as:
“…an interesting handle on live electronics…early 60’s European electronic music…and a smidgen of Gong…”
