HIGH50's GENIUS TIM WILLIS



HIGH 50's GENIUS, editor TIM WILLIS, writer of two biographies, one on Nigel Dempster and another on Syd Barrett. He is a dab hand with a pen and likes nothing better than correcting illiterate articles. He is sharp and a little witty in spiky shoes and snakey jeans, the tighter the better. Spell well or you may pay the price.
