Event information

We are delighted to welcome back Ledfoot, perhaps the most memerising solo performer you're likely to see.

Support from Paul-Ronney Angel, frontman of Urban Voodoo Machine. Doors 8pm.

Ledfoot is probably the best solo live performer you will ever see. Well known from the legendary band The Havalinas, Ledfoot has developed his own solo style with only his 12 string guitar and foot stomps. But sure - nothing more is needed!

LEDFOOT a.k.a. Tim Scott McConnell was born in a trailerpark in Florida 1958. He was son of a boilermaker who moved around to different jobs. So Tim went to an average of two schools a year while he grew up.

At the age of 15 he started to play biker bars around Florida and moved to New York when he was 17. He played all the underground clubs in NY such as. legendary Cbgb's, Max's Kansas City and Mud club.

In 1979 he joined the band The Rockats and signed a deal with Island Records and toured around USA in the next 5 years. The album came out on Island Records in 1981.

In 1983 he went solo and signed his first deal with Sire Records where he released "Swear" in 1983. He then signed to Geffen Records where he released "High Lonesome Sound" in 1987.

In 1989 he started The Havalinas with Smutty Smiff (Rockats, 13kats) and Chalo Quitana (Cruzados, Bob Dylan, Social Distortion). The band signed to Elektra after a bidding war between the major companies and released "The Havalinas" in 1990. They toured around USA extensively and did support gigs for Bob Dylan, Chris Isaak and Tina Turner. The band also made Tim well known in Europe as they did 3 tours around Europe. In 1993 Tim Scott moved to Norway and the bands only release on Electra became their first album.

In Norway Tim signed with Warner Music who released the album ”Deceivers and Believers” in 1994. This album gave Tim heavy radioplay in Norway. In 1996 he did an album on Waterfall Records, the same year as Bruce Springsteen recorded Tim Scott´s song ”High Hopes” on the Bloodbrothers EP and DVD.
