Read about his on the Hawley board.

Jarvis's collaborator and guitarist on his last album, as well as guitarist for The
Pollinates has been tragically killed in an accident at home.

Christ he was only 37. And just become a dad to boot. That is really sad.

God that is tragic news. The poor fella. And he'd only become a dad for the first time a few weeks ago?

Great guitarist, loved his interpretations of Pulp songs when he played acoustic gigs with Jarvis last year. Jarv and Richard, who I saw play here in Madrid last weekend, must be devastated. As well as his poor, poor partner. God bless her and Tim's family.

Rest In Peace Tim.

Terrible, terrible news. Hard to know what to say really.

It's been posted before, but here's the video of the great 6Music session and interview that Tim did with Jarvis a few months back: http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/events/hub/artists/jarvis3.shtml

A real talent, and by all accounts a lovely bloke as well. Very, very sad.

that's really sad. he seemed like a really nice guy and his guitar playing had a lot to do with Jarvis suceeding solo career.

Not the best way to start a Saturday morning. Just thinking back to the crazy week following Jarvis & Co around Australia at the end of last year and how amazing Tim was every night. And not getting angry at me for playing with his floor pedals in Adelaide as we were sitting on the stage. Huge huge shock.

Just found a good biography of Tim here:

http://www.daretobecreative.co.uk/profiles/tim.php

Didn't realise he was also in Pulp's early '90s Gift labelmates Various Vegetables.

That's awful news... I can only echo everything that has been said. He seemed like a really nice chap and a great guitarist too.

Great write up of Tim. Not sure who its by, but I think it might be Ross. I thought at first it might have been Mr Hawley or Mr Cocker, but it talks about him being on stage in Australia....

It's credited to Hawley isn't it?

what a sad loss - my thoughts, like everyone else's, are with his friends and family

When I read the article earlier it wasn't credited - though that has now been altered. Also, it was longer and it mentioned the recent Australia tour. It now seems that a second (shorter) section including the Australia reference was included in the same document, which is now listed separately and credited to Jarvis Cocker - though the link is broken!

Yeah, the link to Jarvis' piece at the end of the Hawley article just goes back to the Hawley article.

Here is Jarvis' article.
