THE WORRIED MEN have toured the UK and Europe non-stop …. Performed at countless festivals …. And these road tested veterans have only just begun!
THE WORRIED MEN have....
Played over 4000 gigs …. Been given the nod of approval by and shared the bill with many
established and influential artistes …. Toured the UK and Europe non-stop …. Performed at countless
festivals …. And these road tested veterans have only just begun!
In the winter months of 1994, guitarist JAMIE THYER took time out from playing on demonstrations
for Marshall amplification and Rotosound strings. He began writing and rehearsing with a rhythm
section under the ironic name of THE WORRIED MEN. Initially, they considered that the originality
of their style and direction would place them on the outer peripheries of fashion motivated rock
music, yet, because of their ability to entertain and not merely play, enthusiastic audiences,
promoters and even record companies swiftly disproved this!
Their live album ‘Fear and Loathing at the Wünder Bar’ was recommended by Venue and AWOL
magazines, and despite a lack of formal promotion, their local gigs attracted an avalanche of press
and an ever-growing mailing list. As a direct result of this, THE WORRIED MEN embarked on a
relentless succession of nationwide dates, averaging around four or five gigs per week at such
venues as Nottingham Rock City, London’s famous Marquee Club etc, alongside artists like Robin
Trower, Chicken Shack, Wilko Johnson, Robert Cray, Jefferson Starship, besides many others –
always to an overwhelming reception. (Partly due to the practice of constantly adding to their
repertoire, thereby ensuing no two shows are the same). It seemed as though a tired and jaded rock
scene needed their fresh approach!
THE WORRIED MEN are touring constantly around England and Ireland, often in the company of
Peter Green, Johnny Winter, Nine Below Zero, Walter Trout, etc and looking forward to their bynow
traditional appearances at the world famous Great British R & B and Gloucester Blues Festivals,
with European and Irish dates later this year. Recently, Jamie was invited to join forces with Mott
the Hoople's Verden Allen on an adventure which produced the album Love You and Leave You
(Angel Air Records), taking in many gigs at top venues, BBC radio broadcasts and an opportunity to
headline the main stage at Cambridge Rock Festival; each episode earning Jamie much praise, much
press and many plaudits.
Jamie has obtained artist endorsements with Rotosound Strings and Dovetail Plectra. With the
imminent release of their eigth album, “CAFE RACER”, a bulging diary and loyal supporters, there's
every reason for JAMIE THYER to look forward to a future that's golden with promise!
