Friday Night live

In the early 90s Kurt Cobain attracted a flannel clad following of teens whose self-esteems resembled their distressed jeans. He also piqued the interest of a rosy-cheeked youngster from sunny North Queensland named Tim McArtney. At the age of 11, while other kids around him played sport or watched cartoons, Tim became transfixed by music.

Behind the cheeky grin and clever word play there lies an intelligent and passionate musician. mcArtney has been learning the guitar since he was six years old and has been writing and experimenting for almost as long. He cites two wildly different muses, Jeff Buckley and Miles Davis, both of which have had a strong influence on his music.
