Milo
Fell met TIm when he was appearing as a guest soloist in
Stoke on Trent and he was playing drums in the house band. Tim enjoyed
the relaxed yet creative feel that Milo gave to all the music, allowing
it to flow and doing nothing superfluous to that end. “Milo grooves
on everything”. After a ten-year sojourn in Manchester, appearing
with the free-playing violin trio Isthmus, John Ellis’s Big Bang,
and John Thorne’s “Oedipus Complex”, Milo has returned to London
to live.
