SEAN MILLER - (1995)
Tymon helped produce this debut album by Irish Singer/Songwriter/Poet Sean Millar (aka Doctor Millar) back in 1995. The Bitter Lie got rave reviews in all of the national papers and Sean was nominated as solo Artist of the year, at the Hot Press Heineken awards in 1996 - in the same category as Van Morrison, Gavin Friday and Paul Brady. The album was included in the Today FM /Sunday Tribune top fifty Irish albums of all time. Sean has since released another two album, to rave reviews, and his songs have been covered live by Nina Hynes, Jack L, Camille OSullivan, Joe Chester, and Tom Dunne to name but a few. He has toured in Ireland, England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Norway and Denmark and in the United States and Canada and been the subject of major Articles in all the main Irish publications. He has performed on countless TV and radio shows both in Ireland and abroad. In a recent May 2008 Q & A feature for this fan site, Tymon said this about working with Sean: "Sean asked me to produce his first album, I said I'd do it if we could do it in three days and with two electric guitars - a telecaster and an stratocaster. He played telecaster and Jim Walker played stratocaster. We recorded 'The Bitter Lie' in Dublin and it was nominated for several awards the next year along with Van Morrison, Gavin Friday and Paul Brady. It (The Bitter Lie) was well received because of Sean's excellent songwriting - we had a brilliant time doing the record. It all came together really well. The engineer, Katherine, everyone worked really well together and we did it in three days, mixed it later, in another studio. Sean and I played some very strange gigs together - like some up the Swiss mountains about ten years ago. I hope we work together again - we had a lot of fun."

Jim Allen - Lose This Skin (2007)
Singer/songwriter Jim Allen has contributed a cover of "Lose This Skin" to the 2007 Clash tribute album "The Sandinista Project". Jim is currently singing in the rock/pop/new wave band Lazy Lions (www.myspace.com/lazylions). Jim's thoughts on Tymon's "Lose This Skin": "I've always loved "Lose this Skin". Musically, I always found the combination of the folk/country fiddle and the Clash's more rock-based rhythms really unique, and lyrically I think the song itself is beautifully poetic. Lines like "what's it like to be so free/so free it looks like lost to be" are brilliantly haiku-like, and overall I find the song to be emotionally stirring. It seems to be to be about both transcending tribulations of the present and past to move forward into the future, and also transcending the earthly to seek a more divine spirit. I'd love to know what Tymon was actually thinking when he wrote it. His voice is really arresting too, it instantly makes you listen closer."

The Stoneage Hearts - The Bitter Thoughts of Little Jane (2003)
An Australian Garage Powerpop band - The Stoneage Hearts - recorded a cover of "The Bitter Thoughts of Little Jane" in 2003 as a b-side to their single - "Suzie" - released on Butterfly Records, and limited to only 500 copies. The Stoneage Hearts’ drummer ‘Mickster’ explains how the “Bitter Thoughts” cover came about: “I discovered Timon thru the second volume of the nuggets box set series via rhino records. "Bitter Thoughts" was the standout of the "new" tracks for me, I was already familiar with about half the tracks over the 4 cds... right about the time the box set came out the Stoneage Hearts were busy recording and got offered a 7", so we covered "Bitter Thoughts" as one of the b-sides for a bit of fun. I’m still yet to come across any of Timon's other recordings... the endless musical search continues!!” Jon 'Mojo' Mills says about this release: "Sounding not unlike a product of the UK circa '78-'81 The Stoneage Hearts throw in some Squeeze (on 'Shoot My Mouth Off' Danny McDonald does a good impression of a pissed of Chris Difford) and come across somewhat like a pastoral XTC on a decent cover of Timon's psych-pop-bubblegum corker 'The Bitter Thoughts Of Little Jane'. The single is available from www.butterfly-records.com.

From a 2007 email, King Django explains why the band recorded the cover: "We were asked to do a tune for a Clash tribute compilation and of course, most of the big, famous, popular hits had already been snagged. I went back and listened to my whole Clash collection and gosh, I just really love that song very deeply!!! Fantastic lyrics, the kind that make you jealous that you didn't write them."
