Mark Baker is talking to Tim London
Baker's Xmas Dozen #11:
Tim Simenon and Paul Conboy
Tim’s Away
Tim went through a bit of a hiatus. I met him in a lift at Sony. He’d just done A Winter In July single, I think that was one of the last things he did before disappearing from the scene. Push set this up. They were mastering Future Chaos at a studio in Islington. Tim’s quit the music industry now. He’s knocked it on the head. I think it’s such a shame. The industry changed and it’s hard to pay the rent. Last I heard he’s taken over his family’s restaurant in Amsterdam. I’ve got so much respect for him as a musician. I didn’t tell him that. But with John Foxx, I was so much in awe with him, I made a bit of tit of myself.
