Alan Harvey, Blues In Britain

‘Tim Ainslie’s guitar work on ‘Remise’ is spellbinding’.

Stephen Foster, BBC Radio

‘Tim Ainslie made his wonderfully effective and hard working guitar playing look effortless  ………  Tim Ainslie’s beautiful guitar work which is stunning….’

Ashwyn Smythe, Digital Blues

‘Guitarists of this calibre are a rare breed, tone and rhythm in bucket loads’

East Anglian Press

Critically acclaimed by BBC Radio 2’s Paul Jones and BBC Blues specialist Stephen Foster – ‘It’s more about the notes he doesn’t play, as the one’s he does’!

‘Stunning debut CD ‘The People Have Spoken’ by Ainslie’s Vibes top class musicianship and songwriting and highly entertaining live show’.

‘I really like your music. It is twangy guitar, up, catchy, foot stomping…. You also have a strong rock and roll vocal going on with “The People Have Spoken”, … Cool stuff.’

Bob Johnson, Program Director WPKN Radio

‘You are one of the best “new artists” I have heard in

years!!!!!’

Ton, Tripple R Radio, Netherlands

‘That’s some excellent material you’ve recorded!’ Thanks!

Bill Brewer, Jazz and Blues Director, KZSC Santa Cruz, 88.1 FM

’You play some cool guitar-driven blues rock, I like it. Your songs are well crafted and guitar pyrotechnics always work in favour of the songs, never against them. Again, trio format has a lot to offer!’

Przemek Draheim, Radio Sfera, Torun, Poland.

‘Just wanted to let you know I got the CD’s the other day. Wonderful music.’

Owen Edwards KGGV-LP Guerneville, California

Since forming Steamboat, Steel Street and Swagger in the early days,  writing five albums, touring and performing with Groove Doctors & King Bizkit, Tim has also performed and led workshops with  Lightnin’ Willie,  Buddy Whittington (Ex John Mayall) & Gregg Wright (Ex Michael Jackson). A few years later time spent studying the guitar and music under Mick Hanson developed Tim into the truly great guitarist he is today, reaching new levels and finding more and more new sounds.   This is when Tim really came of age as a player, leading to performances at clubs, festivals and functions, across the UK and Europe….…Tim became the Guitarist that guitarists come to see! Tim then went on the ‘Groove Doctors’ USA tour and befriended and then toured with ‘Lightnin’ Willie’ on his UK 08 Tour and BBC Radio 2 session.

Tim has developed a unique style and sound, encompassing  jazz, blues, funk and crossing into rock and country which makes it difficult to pigeon hole Tim’s exceptional playing. Tim has always had a great love for writing and recording music as well as live performance.  Ainslie’s Vibes debut CD, ‘The People Have spoken’ received some great reviews and showcases Tim’s strong song writing, vocal and guitar skills.

Ainslie’s Vibes went on to record studio and live gig sessions with the BBC and having now revisited Roundel Studios in Kent, Ainslie’s Vibes all original new album entitled “Standing Ten Feet Tall and Raging Like a Bull” will be launched later in the year.

After years of being a highly respected guitar player Tim has finally stepped up to the mark and is now fronting his own band ‘Ainslie’s Vibes’.

Tim approached two lifelong friends and musicians, Roy Little (bass) and Alex Best (drums) who jumped at the chance to be involved in a new original project.  The trio gelled straight away with each member contributing personality and creativity into the mix.  Ainslie’s Vibes debut cd, ‘The People Have Spoken’ was released and the band went on to record studio and live gig sessions with the BBC.  Having now revisited Roundel Studios in Kent, Ainslie’s Vibes all original new album entitled “Standing Ten Feet Tall and Raging Like a Bull” will be launched later in the year.
