(c’78-’80) Tim Freeman

Rockin’ Timbo was the stage name for Tim Freeman, older brother to actor Martin Freeman. We are aware of two support slots at the Technical College, Farnborough, playing ‘Anarchy in the UK’ and ‘My Generation’ on a ukulele, before smashing it. Tim also designed / created the Stonehenge Festival Farnborough Benefit T-Shirt and appeared at the event.

Freeman was the original vocalist of Farnborough punk band The Grunties (aka The Sods), leaving to focus on his punk-poet performance in late ’78. After Rockin Timbo, Freeman moved to Brighton and went on to be a founding member of Frazier Chorus, for which his brother Jamie Freeman was in the touring band and appeared on their third studio album “Wide Awake“, contributing guitars on all but one track.
